So your problem is that the web browser you are using fails to display all the glyphs? That sounds like an issue with that application. I would think all main web browsers today would have proper font switching support. That is, if the font they are using does not support a specific glyph, they will use a different font for that glyph. A possible complication could be if there is a font on the system that claims to support the glyph but renders it as a "glyph-not-found" shape. (I think I have seen that happen.)
It would probably make sense to take the question to the web browser's forums. (That isn't to say that X and related technologies (e.g. fontconfig) can't be improved to make it easier for applications to do proper font switching, of course.) eirik _______________________________________________ Thanks for helping, Eirik. I'm not really sure the problem is the browser as such - the characters that are missing in the browser are also missing in the font when I look at them with Fontforge, and then there is the problem with a large number of them being outside the range of any single font. I suppose this is something you wouldn't really come across much unless you try to do something like what I am doing, where you systematically go through everything. Missing characters I simply fill in when I have time, so the only remaining problem is the sheer size of the set of characters. So, I will go away and study fontconfig now. Thanks to everybody for being so patient with me. /jan _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
