Good questions! Does FreeType manages fonts? Selecting an alternate font when the asked glyph is absent? No idea, and I am curious to know how it is managed at the OS level. For DrGeo, at startup time, I load different font depending on the language of the OS host, about copy pasting chinese text it does not work for me. I got unicode values: \u81fa\u5317\u5e02 and not 臺北市. But may be a problem of my host. Hilaire -- Dr. Geo http://drgeo.eu http://google.com/+DrgeoEu
