SC UniPad uses its own built-in font and rendering engine, and does not claim to do much "smart" rendering beyond Arabic contextual forms and bidirectionality. It does have options to "Combine Characters" and "Combine Hangul Jamo," which will convert the Japanese and Korean examples (respectively) from NFD to NFC, but I realize that's not the question you are asking. -- Doug Ewell | Thornton, Colorado, USA | http://www.ewellic.org RFC 5645, 4645, UTN #14 | ietf-languages @ is dot gd slash 2kf0s
