What I see is that if it's a practice to include all free unicode fonts in an office suite, in order to use them commonly, all office suites, even operating systems, must come with them. But it's a good practice to start on. Usually, we presume that the user needs only characters for Western Europe

I now see it clearly: Even when you use fonts that you buy, they just generate a glyph for an unicode character. The good thing about what I suggest is that you don't actually need to buy that font, the free unicode font can cover that. So the user just selects "choose character range," which is We

Hi I don't understand this either. 1) all text in calligra is unicode 2) we have a dialog that allows you to enter specific charactes from any unicode range 3) yes it is true that the font used to show the text has to support the script. But a few free unicode fonts do exist already On Saturd

A distinction between two types of input, a "type mode" and an "unicode mode" in all Calligra applications. In "unicode mode," there should be two boxes, one that asks to "choose unicodfoe range" and the other that asks to "choose unicode font." Users should select an unicode range, such as Greek o
