Michael,
At some stage I will be requesting a shamrock, as this is used in a
number of dictionaries as a symbol denoting horticulture.
What about U+2663?
Where on earth did that annotation come from? A club is not a shamrock.
Many of the standard Windows fonts, such as Arial, Tahoma and
Palatino Linotype, have true italic, bold and bold italic variants,
and cover a fairly large number of Unicode ranges. For example,
Arial covers Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew and Arabic, and
Tahoma covers all these as well

If you want to have a list of all languages in all languages

Don't you really want all language names in all writing systems?

I was reading:

and trying to figure out the RTF language codes when I found:
The following table defines the standard languages used by Microsoft.
This table was generated by the Unicode group for use with TrueType
and Unicode.

Abolish all in-process Unicode encodings except UTF-16.
If everyone uses the same encoding form then there is no problem
with different string lengths, results of binary comparisons, etc.
Once we are here, abolish all

The fundamental problem is that *everywhere* in the TrueType spec it is
assumed that glyph indices are two bytes, and there are innumerable
tables that reference glyph indices. Basically TrueType would have to
be rewritten from scratch.
I wrote a couple of programs for a Control Data Corporation (CDC) 6600 back
in the early '70s. I recall that the smallest addressable unit was a 60 bit
word (though there were special instructions to pack and unpack some size
of character -- was it 6 bit?)

Correct, except that there

Better if you also keep the distinction between "octet" (a series of

When is a byte not eight bits?
When it is 6 bits or 12 bits or 16 bits or 18 bits...

The OpenType font format is supported; that means that the OS can read the
files, do *basic* (i.e. 1:1) character-to-glyph mapping, and rasterize the
glyph outlines. This is as much as is involved in supporting plain-vanilla
TrueType fonts, only with additional possibilities for what formats
