Encouraging... and is the IPA one of the selected scripts? I just looked at the online docs, and it seems that Qt will only access fonts through the window system --- I'm not sure how much of the juicy accent placement info that might be in an OpenType font will survive the trip through Xfree86 version 3.3. Version 4.1 is/will be better, they say... I think I need a bigger /usr partition. Lars Mathiesen (U of Copenhagen CS Dep) <thorinn@...> (Humour NOT marked)
