Re: PDF and Unicode (was: Boreanesian in the Web (was: Why Triggers?))

While people're going around doing this kind of thing, you could look at my
one at http://users.bigpond.net.au/zsau/csampa.pdf . Only one page and no
fancy formatting. But it includes diacritics (slightly extended to include
the retroflexion diacritic rather than shoving it into the consonants),
which I thing are more forgettable than the rest, and skips non-p
consonants. (It looks bad onscreen, but printed and it's fine).
