The only tricky thing about 'Points' as Unicode likes to call them, is that they are rendered on top of the glyph before it (and I don't mean horizontally on top, I mean, as a layer that is placed after the first glyph -- so it can be top or bottom). > If I only use the string which contained "X" in the original file for > building the list a glyphs I should keep in my font, I may be wrong as > finally "X prime" has not been kept. > > Is there something I don't really understand somewhere? > I hope the above explains it. Not really. I simply need someone to explain what that last character in that file is (it might be a future problem -- or just me). All you really need is the rest of the glyphs that represent diacritics. On another note though -- D-I should _not_ crash because of this. It should simply ignore it and go on.
