To clarify - I looked around at the microsoft typography pages, could not quickly locate the exact reference on the remapping - but using fontforge as an guide, is it fair to say that if I load a Unicode font, and then change the encoding to say "Windows Latin", it will show me the exact remapping that windows will do to a Unicode font (i.e, the characters that would be entered if I typed ALT+0nnn at the keyboard, nnn being the decimal equivalent of the glyph position (1 to 255) ? -- Avinash Chopde av...@ac... http://www.aczoom.com/ |
