Atsushi,

Thanks for the feedback. For some reason, the Mac when displaying unicode 
always composes strings before display. I'll look at the test case in corlib 
tomorrow when I get in to work. Would it be helpful for the test cases if I 
gave you both the formD bytes and the formC bytes that I think are correct for 
the test case I sent? Perhaps the encoding did not come across in the 
attachment.

We have a workaround for the Mac port of our app which would require overriding 
string.Normalize to p/invoke to Mac OS X's NSString library to do 
normalization. It would work, but we would prefer not to have to ship a custom 
build of Mono. The normalization on .NET appears to be "good enough" for our 
purposes and we'd just like our Mac version to be consistent.

You seem to have embedded raw native encoding in your land that
is *not* understandable in Japan. Anyways the input string you
posted in the previous sample was already in FormC which will
look like "doing nothing" as the conversion results.

There is a standalone normalization test generated from normalization
conformance test in corlib/Mono.Globalization.Unicode. We fail
about 26000. Far from good, but still better than 35000 on .NET.
