Constantine!
Thanks for your excellent reply.  Perhaps, I wasn't clear to say the the 
problem has been resolved several years ago.  I did a conversion as you 
mentioned which brought everything up to date.  So there is no longer a 
problem.  And I have been able to continue with the reformatting of the 
dictionary.

I just wondered if the new government emphasis to change to a set standard 
is presenting a problem for others in general.

Presently, I use a font which is standard and has the accents and a few 
additional characters.  I have John's Siouan fonts, viz., SsDo SIL DoulosL 
installed.  I use two characters from this set on formal papers -- the 
glottal stop (0216 stroke) and the "inge" (0223).  However, I usually do not 
use them in transmittion, except under a PDF Adobe format, as they will 
alter on the PC of the receiver, most of which do not have the Siouan font.

Irregardless, your information is worth printing out and keeping for further 
need and reference.
