OK - I think I have done this; I was off-by-one in the conversion to UTF16 as I did not read the API docs and did not realise that fl_utf8toUtf16() always tried to NULL-terminate its output, and so the buffer I was passing for the converted output was too small sometimes... > > > Note that I still can't persuade XP to handle surrogate > pairs nicely anyway... > > That's bad, but maybe it's only a font issue? No, the font is OK (I've tried several) and they work fine on linux/XFT and Vista - the Vista code is *identical* to the WinXP code, and Just Works, so... Note that this XP box handles surrogate pairs badly in general - I created a test UTF16 file with surrogate-pairs in it, and Notepad fails, Word-2003 fails, but Wordpad works... If I then save it from Wordpad (as RTF) Word then displays it fine. So, anyway, I think the font is fine. If someone else could try a few tests with surrogate pairs being rendered on an XP box, that might help, as it is entirely feasible this box is broken in some non-standard way.
