Maybe I should have mentioned it that I'm running OS 10.4 on Apple
Macintosh which is a completely different text engine and different
font technology. But if it is a Unicode bug, it shouldn't matter
unless Apple didn't follow the buggy instruction.
Maybe there is also a matter of interpretation of Unicode rules.
