Actually the character images of the plane 1 characters in the spec were made by pdftex. (and converted to png with image magic convert) They use a set of fonts and/or macros that I er constructed. The fonts (made by modifying metafont parameters to get the right combinations of slant/serif etc) are good enough to generate the png images in the spec, but probably not very high quality for use in documents. (Where possible I used the freely available type1 tex fonts) Some of the bold versions are done by overprinting rather than a real bold font. There are a nicer set of images at unicode site but we didn't use them as that would not have been compatible with their distribution conditions. For the alphanumerics in plane 1: http://www.unicode.org/charts/draftunicode31/ in particular http://www.unicode.org/charts/draftunicode31/U31-1D400.pdf And for the new symbols in plane 0: http://www.unicode.org/charts/draftunicode32/ David _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Control Centre.
