There are DFSG-free data files that include all the normative information like this. Run "locate UnicodeData" -- I have 5 copies from Debian packages. It's not terribly human-readable, but the data's there. > Without the Unicode standard, which costs money, (amazon: $74.99 for > version 4, $49.95 for version 3) I can't display Unicode text. Or you could go to <http://www.unicode.org> and find the entire text of the standard in PDF files. It's not DFSG-free, but it's available at no cost. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup CareerBuilder.com has over 400,000 jobs.
