But I "see" what has been done. As I have a very good understanding of all this coding of characters stuff, I can just pick up - in fact select characters or combination of characters - which I supspect to be problematic and I see the results. Not only this, I can select characters, I know a user is supposed to use or will use eg. a specific scrit/language, a typographical work, ... (Do not ask how and why, I know this). I'm not interesting in the other languages or in unicode therory (also I not bad on this level). I just see the results and the facts. For an end user, this is the only thing that counts. jmf
