Yes, I have tested the font in OOo. It works pretty well. every pre-composed characters in Extend-A is a complete glyph from the end-user's view, which doesn't need to combine with vowels or any other marks. It has no connection with the ligature or shaping features which would be utilized by Tibetan complex layout engine in ICU to render the standard uncode text in Tibetan. If you desire more detail of JomoHari, Christopher Fynn ([EMAIL PROTECTED] or < [EMAIL PROTECTED]) would be the appropriate person to talk to. Regards, Yanmin
