[Fedora-i18n-list] Fedora and Unicode 4.1

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
