Here's the executive summary for those without the time to
plow through the longer exchange:
Marco: It is o.k. (in a German-specific context) to display
an umlaut as a macron (or a tilde, or a little e above),
since that is what Germans do.
Kent: It is *not* o.k. -- that constitutes changing a character.
[Sorry, guys, if I have ridden roughshod over the nuances... ;-)]
Michael, you might have to recuse yourself, however, since when
it was suggested that displaying Devanagari characters with
snowpeaked glyphs for a Nepali hiking company would be o.k.,
you misunderstood and suggested private use characters!
