Would you want it any other way?  Of course, we are DYING to see the
new additions to Unicode -- especially those of us who are not members
and have not seen the discussions on the unicore list, and were not in
Boston or Athens when decisions were made and ballots cast.  We care
about Unicode, but have had to wait longer to see updates.

The Pipeline document Ken mentioned has indeed been updated within the
past week and does now list the names of many characters to be added,
but there's nothing quite like a chart.

I found preliminary (draft) character charts for ISO/IEC 10646-2:1999
(= Unicode 3.1) somewhere in the deep and wondrous maze that is
dkuug.dk a day or so before Ken posted his message.  (Note that the
correct URL is .)

Glyph rendering

Glyph rendering: Advantages and disadvantages of rendering
only withing the font Vs a mixture of within the font and within the O/S.

Can any one point me to information on the above.

A small correction: FreeType has *nothing* to do with Linux in
particular.  It is written in ANSI C and supports all platforms.  We
have users for Mac and Windows also.

FreeType 1.x (as can be found in the current snapshot; note that there
is no further development on the 1.x series) has full GSUB and GPOS
support.

There is no complex script support in FreeType 2.  Instead, we have
started to work on a text layout engine built on top of FreeType 2.
More details to come in the next weeks on www.freetype.org.

Reiterated, here is my compilation of mapping of properties proposed
for Haskell:

isAssigned: all except Cs, Cn
isControl:  Cc, Cf
isPrint:L*, M*, N*, P*, S*, Zs, Co
isSpace:Zs (except U+00A0, U+202F), TAB, LF, VT, FF, CR
isGraph:L*, M*, N*, P*, S*, Co
isPunct:P*
isSymbol:   S*
isAlphaNum: L*, M*, N*
isDigit:Nd
isHexDigit: '0'..'9', 'A'..'F', 'a'..'f'
isDecDigit: '0'..'9'
isOctDigit: '0'..'7'
isAlpha:L*, M*
isUpper:Lu, Lt
isLower:Ll
isLatin1:   U+..U+00FF
isAscii:U+..U+007F

They will appear in due course on ...draftunicode31

You guys are all so eager!

A./

PS: I've made some font fixes for the draftunicode32 charts - however they 
don't affect any of the new characters, just the existing context.
