http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html For those who haven't looked lately, this little sample page has been collecting entries at a slow but steady clip -- we're up to 109 now, nearly 1% of the world's languages (send more!) Of course half of them are German and Italian dialects... I recently installed Windows XP, and with its standard complement of fonts, this page doesn't look half bad -- the only entries that don't show up are the the Runic ones, CJK, and the Middle English letter Yogh. More of the entries are coming through in monospace too -- even Armenian, Georgian, and Hindi. Progress! - Frank
