Adobe _does_ live in such era because tha last really portable reader for all operating systems is version 3. Bugs reported by me in January 2002 and April 2002 have not been fixed so far. PDF is based on PS and the string type requires 8bit characters. Making such a dramatic change in the very hard of the format will make old PDF's unreadable by new PDF readers.
Don't follow that, Zdenek : the older PDFs will not change, will still contain US ASCII strings and so on, but a newer reader would be able to handle UTF-<whatever> strings as well -- that was my thinking. ** Phil. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
