Well, I might be in a different time zone.
I have in mind to reorganize your report into problem "kinds", which
would be easier to attack together.
This will result in a large number of small bug reports, but should be
easier to deal with than by face-Unicode. But I'll do that myself.
One thing you might do...
If you could pick out any bugs that you regard as making a character
range unusable for its main purpose,
as opposed to being ugly or not quite right, that would be helpful.
Or: Give me a list of yoru "top 10" bugs there.
Thanks!
