Elaine Keown still in Texas Hi,
The reason the Aramaic is being discussed now is that right now there are people who are interested in it inside your Unicode community. Right now Jewish studies and Biblical studies people are finally trying to convert to Unicode, fonts are being made, proposals written, great experts are looking over proposals. In 18 months or so, this will all be over, and we will go on to a different type of standard (support for Semitics in C/C++? a keyboard standard?...), a different Bible project, maybe even a different character set standard..... I don't really ever want to deal with alphabetic Semitic character sets again after this, and I doubt that anyone else does either......Elaine __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
