Well, I checked the 8859-2 mapping table, and the only contiguous ranges are of length 2, namely 0xA7-0xA8, 0xC1-0xC2, 0xCD-0xCE, 0xD3-0xD4, 0xD6-0xD7, 0xDC-0xDD, 0xE1-0xE2, 0xF3-0xF4, 0xF6-0xF7, 0xFC-0xFD. All of these are places where Latin-1 and Latin-2 coincide. > Latin sections are a worse case, but they still benefit slightly, because > characters shared with Latin-in stay the same positions. This is strongly true of Latin-1, -2, -3, -4: a character appears in the same codepoint or not at all. Unfortunately, Latin-3 is used only for Esperanto and Maltese, and Latin-4 is dead. The later Latins share only with Latin-1. -- A mosquito cried out in his pain, John Cowan "A chemist has poisoned my brain!" http://www.ccil.org/~cowan The cause of his sorrow http://www.reutershealth.com Was para-dichloro- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Diphenyltrichloroethane.
