OK, this is probably the wrong list for this, but it's the best match
for my inquiry I could find. Please direct me to the correct list, if
true and apologies.
My question has to do with Unicode 4.1 and Firefox. Namely, I recently
installed James Kass' latest Code2000 font on my Fedora Core 3 and
Windows XP box. This newest version has some of the 4.1 characters. An
example is Ethiopic Supplement:
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/ethiopic-supplement.html
The thing is, my Windows Firefox displays the characters in the font
just fine, while my Fedora box displays the Unicode [13XX] boxes.
So, this led me to believe it's a difference in Fedora/Windows rather
than a Firefox fault. May not be, but I have the same versions of font
and Firefox on each.
If it is a Fedora issue, is there a place to put a new Blocks.txt, or
something, that will enable these fonts? I tried looking in gucharmap,
but it doesn't even show this range (goes from 137F to 13A0).
Now, I'm not Ethiopian or anything, so it isn't a big need. I just like
to see the new characters when I get them.
Thank you for any and all help.
Respectfully yours,
Matt Thompson
