Subject: Two questions about Unicode
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Let me ask, please, two questions about Unicode:
1. Up to now I did not find a possibility of entering a unicode character
disponible on my computer via ALT-xxxx or something like that. When I enter
a combination grater than ALT-0255 I only get simple ASCII (or ANSI)
characters. And selecting characters with the mouse from a list of unicode
characters is a very slow procedure.
2. On my computer there is a very nice unicode font (Lucida Sans Unicode,
you certainly know it). But it does not contain some characters needed for
scientific transliteration of Arabic letters like e.g. h with dot below
(1E25=7717) and others. And my browser (Netscape 4.5 under WindowsNT4) does
even not support this character (and others). How can I find the necessary
fonts and programs in order to use these characters defined in Unicode?
I know that my second question is a very large and perhaps difficult one,
but the first question is very urgent for me. I hope you will be able to
answer at least my first question.
Yours sincerely,
Armin Bassarak
