[Lexicog] Unicode rendering under Linux

Rendering works fine under Linux for all of the scripts that I have
tried in Yudit, where I've played with just about everything, in OpenOffice,
where I've used a fair range, especially IPA and Carrier syllabics (part of
the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics range, which conflates several writing
systems), and in X terminal windows, where again I've used quite a few
scripts. The limitations to which Peter Kirk refers are not in these
particular programs but in Pango, the generalized rendering system,
which is still under development and does not support everything.
