No, the point is that fonts (which consist of glyphs, not characters) for polytoniko Greek should contain these upsilon-based glyphs, with ligature tables that cause them to be used when the appropriate string of Unicode characters are being displayed. Otherwise, the smooth breathing upsilons will have to be created by superimposing the combining character glyphs, which will be lower quality than the glyphs representing the precomposed characters. -- John Cowan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.reutershealth.com I amar prestar aen, han mathon ne nen, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan han mathon ne chae, a han noston ne 'wilith. --Galadriel, _LOTR:FOTR_
