I failed to find a link for their web site, but only spent about an hour and a half searching for it. There is a web site for "Xishuangbanna Daily", but the pages I saw there were all in Chinese. If Xishuangbanna News is publishing using PUA, then they probably offer a font for download. I was just curious to see what their web pages looked like, and wondered how pervasive the PUA use is. If their site only resorts to PUA for final consonants, then a presumption would be that the USE supports all other shaping requirements for the script. > My issues are generally not with producing the right image, > but rather with enabling the semantically correct sequence > of characters. Because you started out with all the Tai Tham glyphs mapped to the PUA, and are now trying to produce a working font using the standard encoding?
