Please keep in mind that left/right are especially bad terms to describe rotations. When you rotate the character cell about its center, some parts move to the right, some parts move to the left — both when the rotation is clockwise and counterclockwise. Which of the words left/right LOOKS better suited to describe a particular rotation depends on whether the top or the bottom OF WHAT YOU ROTATE is more “visually important”. (We saw it many times when discussing the math of the rotations with small kids.) Try to rotate ↓ left ;-]. (I believe that people associate left ↔ counterclockwise etc only because for many shapes, visually, the bottom is just a pedestal for the top. So you “grab” the shape “on top”.] Hope this helps, Ilya _______________________________________________ Unicode mailing list Unicode@unicode.org http://unicode.org/mailman/listinfo/unicode
