[sword-devel] Unicode font (Arial Unicode MS)

[David Burry]

Apparently I was misinformed and actually dead wrong when I said Adobe had complete Unicode fonts associated with their name...  But Eric Muller, the primary Adobe representative to the Unicode Consortium (Adobe is a full corporate member) was kind enough to send me the following response.  I am assuming that for full cross platform support we'd need to include a working font.  I'm also assuming this info is old hat to most of you... though that one link at the end might still be interesting ;o)

Sorry I couldn't be more help...
