Yes. But you can go for ScriptGetCMap, works for anything. > I don't know when unicode fonts with 1D100-1D1FF will become commonplace, I doubt they will become commonplace. You will probably need specialized fonts.

It is a problem if you start mixing fonts. -- Mihai Nita [Microsoft MVP, Windows - SDK] http://www.mihai-nita.net ------------------------------------------ Replace _year_ with _ to get the real email

The memory requirements of my system can increase exponentially with the number of character glyphs, supporting Asian glyphs might not be feasible very soon. If very few of these glyphs overlap each other, then this will not be a problem. My system must explicitly represent every possible combination of overlapping character glyph. China apparently has passed a law making stealing software legal thus making them the lowest priority on my target market. > > > -- > Mihai Nita [Microsoft MVP, Windows - SDK] > http://www.mihai-nita.net > ------------------------------------------ > Replace _year_ with _ to get the real email |
