Thanks.  It comes out reasonably enough, both in my mozilla 1.7.3 (and
as far back as 1.4.1, the oldest I have around), and my lynx.
Unfortunately, in netscape 4, they pretty much all appear as just a "?".

    I suppose people reading those languages will use browsers that can
    display them.

Seems reasonable.  So I suppose such old browsers should not stop us
from moving on to better support those languages.  Unless there is some
vehement objection, I'll welcome a patch to fix it for both HTML and
XML.  At least I think you were volunteering to do that :)?

    However, the diacritical characters should be replaced, for the
    reason stated above, but also because even the sub-optimal form with
    the diacritical sign *next* to the glyph is better than the ASCII
    version in my opinion.

I tend to agree.

    The dotless j seems to be unavailable in Unicode, but maybe I was

Apparently it's coming in the next round.
(Google for unicode dotless j)

Thanks,
