Folks,

Those of you who still don't have an extensive Unicode font have a chance to
download and install one for free: Code2000.  I don't think it's the
prettiest font in the world, but the good thing is that it seems to cover
all the scripts that Arial Unicode covers, and it has a lot more, such as
Maldivian (Divehi, Thaana), Syriac, Yi, Lao, Khmer (Cambodian), Ethiopic
(Geez), Tsalagi (Cherokee), Braille, Chinese Syllabary (Bopomofo), Canadian
Aboriginal Syllabaries, Runics (various), Ogham, Khmer and
Uyghur/Manchu/Mongolian (vertical).  Like Arial Unicode (which is no longer
freely available but comes as a part of more recent Microsoft Windows and
Office packages), it contains IPA (the International Phonetic Alphabet) and
also Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Indic, Japanese, Korean, Chinese,
mathematical symbols, and the like, the scripts pretty much all with
extensions for all languages that use them.

Be aware that this font is quite large, a memory hog.  So you might not want
to download it unless you really think you need it.  If you download it via
a modem rather than a DSL line, please allow time for the process.

You could designate this font to Unicode encoding in your Web browser(s) and
smail program(s).

I believe the font was created by James Kass
(http://home.att.net/~jameskass/).
You can download it from his site (directly:
http://home.att.net/~jameskass/CODE2000.ZIP) or from this one:
http://www.armunicode.org/files/fonts/unicode/Code2000.zip

Best of luck!
Reinhard/Ron
