According to my Unicode 5.0 data files, there is no such character as U +17FE. > I'm not sure how it'd affect other languages, but for Khmer while it's > not critical, it would certainly be a time saver. While Pango can be smarter about canonically equivalent Unicode sequences, the fonts can help too, by correctly populating their 'ccmp' OpenType feature. That currently doesn't work for Khmer though: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385168 If you let me know more about your situation (are you designing a font? Did you really mean the nonexistent U+17FE? etc.) I may better help. > Matt -- behdad http://behdad.org/ "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, 1759 _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
