Hi Tim - re: Unicode - right now MoI is using the simplified UCS-2 encoding in this case where it strictly uses 2 bytes per character which doesn't allow for the surrogate pair mechanism needed to handle planes above 0.

Normally this isn't much of an issue since plane 0 covers all the stuff in use in current living languages... The main area where it doesn't work are for glyphs used in ancient languages like you're working with here.

I think I should be able to fix it up, but it would be helpful if I could have a sample to test with instead of trying to work on it blindly.

Do you know of a particular font that I could download and install and some character codes that I could use to test with over here that don't currently work so I can reproduce the problem over here and test the fix?
