Short clear answer but,
What you said can be interpreted as to entail that Apple has implemented
enough Unicode
support in 8.5 so it only remains for Netscape and Microsoft to take
advantage of it in their
browsers. Is that accurate? Or do they have to distribute an additional UCS
Font etc.?
Do I really have to buy Worldscript I to see Icelandic ETH, Thorn? It
should suffice with support for
Norwegian since these characters are used in Norway for the native Sami
languages....
Will this work more user friendly in MacOS X server that hopefully will be
released befor new year?
