This issue has been flogged to death on both Typographica and Typophile
over two days now. I think Paul's note that Microsoft are *not* removing
the swastika from fonts where there is a clear Asian context is reasonable
and probably the last thing that needs to be said. No one is trying to ban
the swastika in all contexts, only in specific contexts or where the
context is ambiguous.
