No, this is an error. It is not the case that every glyph in the font must correspond to a single Unicode character. Some glyphs may very well be invoked by the font engine in order to render a sequence of Unicode characters -- modern fonts contain tables that indicate when this should be done. By the same token, a single character may have multiple glyphs to be used in different circumstances, again based on the font's tables. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Any legal document draws most of its meaning from context.
