> Then why is Unicode proposing / imposing it that way? Unicode has nothing with it; OpenType is the font standard. And as to why it proposes / imposes / disposes it that way, it's hard to say, because it's simply ill-advised to use font substitutions for what you're looking for. You want the solution Ross suggested; although the font hacks sketched by Enrico, Matthew, and Peter surely would be great fun.
