Exactly, which is why a tool like this won't work. It could tell the user how a particular character when configured for a particular font will look on _his_system_ but it won't tell hi which fonts contain glyphs for it. Is there no way to search fonts for a particular character to see if a glyph exists for it or not? -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il Please CC me if you want to be sure that I read your message.
