Sigh! If the French attempt to boycott ISO 8859-1 as the one-octet default for ISO 10646, and want their own ISO 8859-n (for some large n) why can't we just "update" ISO 8859-1 by re-inserting those OE and oe ligatures right in the middle of the other "O with random squiggle" series? I'm not impressed by this counter-productivity and random politicking. -- [Erik Naggum] <enag@ifi.uio.no> Naggum Software, Oslo, Norway <erik@naggum.uu.no>
