NO. That was to prove to you that you can use Unicode-encoded
characters in an ordinary (English-language) document.
(Insert SYMBOL. not "insert font," whatever that would be.)
This works so long as you
are working in word. If you want to work in photo paint, page maker,
photoshop and such different programmes these fonts do not work.
NO. They work in ANY program running in Windows (that was written
after Unicode was implemented in Windows).
With my
fonts user can work freely in all the programmes workable on windows and so
they have an advantage above those fonts. I thing it is immaterial whether a
font is ascii based or unicode based so long as it works on the machine
properly.
That is exactly the attitude that led to the chaos that made Unicode a
necessity by 1990.
Were you using a personal computer in 1985? I was.
Insistance for unicode fonts have in some cases caused problems
with keyboards. Not all keyboards respond well for them but all makes of
keyboards do respond for ASCII based fonts very well.
Maybe in India you have "makes of keyboards" that do not follow
international standards. The "make of keyboard" cannot have anything
to do with the signal sent to your computer by depressing each key!
