I know I may have been caught dozing in computer lab when the teacher was lecturing on file format. I take your response as a HELL NO! Unicode-16 is bigger and uglier than Unicode-8. You have to admit, though, the whole idea that ascii characters being a limited version of the alphabet, doesn't apply as well to the font. I mean, that's where you lost me. OK, the first 128 characters of the unicode standard is the ascii standard AND characters 32 thru 126 are used for this NG. I don't see where you specify that characters 32 thru 126 have got to be fixed width. Isn`t a character a character? Or is that what distinguishes ascii from Western, Unicode-8, and Unicode-16? In other words, ascii not only encompasses particular letters and symbols, it also includes the fonts in which they are displayed. -- ��New Millennium Calendar�� http://r.aguirre.home.att.net � NEWS http://berniesterling.home.att.net/rinato/pilcrow4.pdf
