Well, on the other side, you type differently an 'a' or an 'A'; while in arabic, devanagari, thai, etc. you type noly letters and the shaping is done for you. So there is some logic for it after all. Note also that Unicode is *also* very Arabic-biased, as it has all the 4 presentation forms (alongside with a 5th neutral one). -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://www.srtxg.easynet.be/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0x8F0E4975 _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
