Since Unicode keeps adding new characters and scripts with each release (and some times altering the properties of existing characters), I was wondering how up to date char-def.lua is, in particular on which version of Unicode data was it based and how frequently it is synced with Unicode (if at all). It would be even nice to have an mtx script to update the database when needed. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

I have a bunch of scripts here but as char-def has extra info (and will have more depending on mkiv needs) much is done manually. also, syncing with other databases always has to be checked esp when it has can have consequences for text/math rendering and presets.
