But after all: there's LinLibertine or the (symbol) Unicode font that one of you has mantioned a few days ago.
yes, those fonts are very complete; i wonder if they may be distributed with tex ...
There's a LaTeX package... Anyway, thnx for mentioning LinLibertine, Wolfgang; downloding it now. Unfortunately they don't have a monospace font :-( For serious utf-8 work in an editor it's indispensable. I'm using Arial Unicode MS in the meantime (ugh). SC Unipad has the best and most complete unicode editing font out there (both mono and var options) but it's a bitmap and tied to the application. SIL has some pretty complete fonts as well. Doulos is pretty complete as far as Latin extensions are concerned, and is probably the richest font after Arial Unicode (which is still over an order of magnitude bigger). But the idea of a virtual uniode font is a good idea and I'd like to help.
