And do you know the origin of this typographical feature? Because, mechanically, the dot of the "i" broke too often. I cann't proof that's the truth, I read this many times in the literature speaking about typography and about unicode. In my opinion, a very plausible explanation. jmf -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
