Dickey > http://invisible-island.net > ftp://invisible-island.net I believe the problem Matt's seeing is due to an error in the UTF-8.src file that's distributed with FreeBSD. I have a patch to fix this. Unfortunately, documentation of this patch was not previously included in the unicode.html notes, an omission I have now corrected. The error in the UTF-8.src file is that the combining character ranges (there are three) are listed with SWIDTH1; they should have SWIDTH0. Folk who are interested can see details in the updated unicode.html file here: http://opal.com/freebsd/unicode.html#lcctype -jr --Kj7319i9nmIyA2yE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iQDVAwUBRKCBcUkkqUax7f6FAQJ3rQX/eBjTwuJ8A+l4y+pyKytN42qudm5dEHgA 03+OJ7KbgHvsSJQbUro4XR0lqClCQu5a15nEHcchxKR7+ApY3BFTmwSrZQb4gkuF nfv3Pa7kgjigQsc0oUpNRt3jWwhqxvY0vxO5kOEu8ftfIavxkgsaGO/Y1Zf3hKVf jEm/Z7UAnoiCSpQa97AZ9bPqY3eF24d8pdyZChUN+kFCyD0uPCJipNeCAZY2FSvq RcPqZ37daqxyQaG9srbHX6lN9XNsR/NG =YUEq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Kj7319i9nmIyA2yE--
