Hi

I am sorry for taking up the matter after such a long gap. My exams ended
just 2 days back.

Would you kindly tell me how i can construct such input methods and
ultimately create fonts.I created web pages using the ZWJ and ZWNJ controls
but they are not correctly visible in IE5.0 and Windows98 . I don't know if
the same is true for Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

And as there should be code points that can be stored in databases for the
web and non-connected databases .And the storage of ZWJ and ZWNJ is a
definite no-no.You know the reason better than me.

Please help.
With Regards
Arjun Aggarwal
