I started creating Adobe-like names from the additional Unicode names
some
time before - the problem as I can remember was with the more complicated
precomposed characters, mostly to be placed in the Private User Area.
While
following the "Stacking Sequences" as of Figure 2-7 in Unicode Standard
2.0
I used the names of diacriticals in its standard position "Mdot" - with
additional
"below" or "above" for variant positions of the diacriticals "Mdotbelow"
only.
Not having more than one diacritical at the same level, this worked for
me.
My listing was for precomposed characters for
transliteration/transcription -
but as no one at Apple told me (for whatever reason) how to do Unicode
fonts for later MACusage, this being of no use I dropped the whole
project.
