It would be really nice if there were a way to just query the darned rendering engine as to whether it can render character U+ at all, as opposed to displaying a .notdef glyph. Anything beyond that would be a bonus. -- Doug Ewell | Thornton, Colorado, USA | http://www.ewellic.org RFC 5645

I would have thought that putting your font last in the css list would be enough, so it only uses it if the other fonts don't have the needed character. > But now that “good” browsers support @font-face, we can envision a > better solution: If the browser does not have a font for rendering a > s

Most BaseSymbols show fill1 and rotation 1.  Handshapes are the exception.  There are 261 different handshapes broken into 10 groups.  The first handshape in each group uses fill 1 and rotation 1.  The rest of the handshapes use fill 2.  This is a standard that has been used since the beginning
