But only three non-Latin1 entity names. And Ydieresis is marked as unavailable on the Windows platform -- invalid typographers might find this confusing. Would a table this legible with Unicode equivalents for non-Latin1 ISO8879 entity names give UA makers impetus to implement some of them? I haven't found any reference that equates entity names with Unicode (except for Latin1). > A florin is the curly-descender f like you see in mathematical > f(x). I believe the 'f' you refer to is simply an italic f, used to indicate some function. A second function is 'g', etc., as in f(ƒ) + g(Ÿ) = 23 guilders. (Solve for ƒ) > We Mac users...

Windows users will see it as Y diarrheasis, a non-existent character. David PerrellReceived on Saturday, 30 November 1996 14:31:12 GMT
