I'll check that.

Nice.  Thanks for explaining.  I think it would be pretty difficult (if
possible at all) to implement in graphite.  The construction information
database would have to live inside graphite, or inside the font, but
that would require even more glyphs ...

Sorry, it should have been:

Find attached the screen captures.  There seems to be some more work to
do to integrate Firefox and Graphite, the printing output depends on
where it gets the font.  A remote font (via css @font-face) yields
squares bu a local font shows all symbols correctly filled/rotated but
not positioned and it also the structural markers.  That is weird, it
has to go through graphite to show the right symbols and, if it does, it
should not be printing the other unicode characters ...

Eduardo.
