There's more to covering a language correctly than having glyphs for all the code points. Not all languages can use the SAME glyph for any given code point, and in scripts with complex layout there might also be differences in the layout features. This issue shows up especially often between CJK languages, but I imagine it would also be applicable between Arabic and Persian. It even shows up between English and German - the ligature rules are different even if the character set and glyphs are (almost) the same. -- Matthew Skala msk...@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
