I'm rearranging the layout now, and should have another prototype on the list soon...
Okay, my daughter stayed asleep for long enough for me to get this out... http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/dense2.pdf From the attached file: This is a new (2005) encoding optimised for text usage in a Unicode world. It eschews all accents for as many fully formed glyphs as possible. It sets aside all punctuation that is: 1) not part of a typical text flow, 2) normally an escaped TeX character, 3) mathematical or monetary/trade in nature, or 4) not typically governed by ligatures or kerns. The primary goal is to gain a complete set of latin letters for as many European languages as possible. It adds Latvian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Maltese, Cornish, and Welsh to the linguistic repertoire covered by the EC encoding. It also improves Balkan language support by correctly distinguishing /Eth from /Dcroat. This encoding will have obvious problems on most old, 256-character fonts. It is intended for `wide' Unicode fonts, such as Gentium, Minion, Myriad, modern Lucida implementations (such as Lucida Grande), and Latin Modern. Comments (especially on layout) welcome! Taco, if you need the /cwm in there, what would you sacrifice? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
