Let me take a rest! ;) But the condition sine qua non to tackle UTF-8 is : run on Plan9. And it runs. I have even some ideas to allow right to left, top to bottom etc. by changing minimally TeX (these are just rotations or mirrors of a box, and I think this can be done mainly by the dvi drivers if it is possible to inform TeX to switch width and height when it is composing boxes...) -- Thierry Laronde http://www.kergis.com/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C
