Makes a good read. Plus, there's a lot more good stuff in that book. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.comCheers, teddThank you Tedd, that was very helpful. After reading your mail from yesterday I went to wikipedia to learn what graphemes and ligatures are. Your example of "fi" was there, otherwise I would have had no idea that those letters can be combined. In Hebrew and Arabic, especially, I can see how the vowel points (Hebrew) and combinations like "LA" (Arabic) can confuse the ASCII function. Thanks. Dotan Cohen
