In my experience, nearly any glyph is available in some TeX font or
another, or can be constructed (for decades now, long predating
Unicode). Even just the core TeX distribution has vast character coverage.
What's certainly true is that the basic CM + (sort of) EM fonts that we
use in texinfo.tex are restricted in their coverage to, for the most
part, European languages. Since we have never figured out a good way to
load and combine arbitrary font families in texinfo.tex. But that is not
TeX's problem, it's ours. --best, karl.
Thank you for response, Karl.
Could you please point me in the right direction to happy hunting grounds? I
know what TeX is. I know who Donald Knuth is. But, I am not familiar with TeX.
I will find all of the potentially supported accents. After all, I copied and
pasted 200 - 250 unicode glyphs into a spread sheet of texinfo commands already.
A link in the right direction would certainly help. (or else I'll just ask
SmartPage)
