I don't know any of the details, but if they decided to store font
names in NFD, it would still be possible to NFC the text before it
goes into a rendering engine; while that step is not free, compared to
rendering costs it is pretty trivial.
An even better solution would be to use whichever
JJ and that AAT data in the fonts is respected by the Finder, even
JJ for PUA characters. I can name a file in Pollard if I like, so

A Unicode string is a finite sequence of 16-bit values the

There are two important reasons why code pages are still needed:
1) Many applications do not yet support Unicode, and those applications
still need to work properly (imagine trying to sell an OS where your

There is no difference between Oracle on NT and Oracle on Solaris as far as

Hi Malini,
You might have to set the Force to return SQL_WCHAR for ADO/ODBC connection.

It would be best for you to set NLS_LANG to .UTF8 for ASP node.

John,
Let me add a few more points to John Jenkins' comment.
As John mentioned, we're working on to add the character space
processing capability to the OS. In fact, Cocoa framework, one of the
two primary APIs in Mac OS X, can already handle most of the combining
marks pretty reasonably
