->         I do have a question about UCS-4 encoding: I thought that the
-> 32-bit encoding was only used with special-purpose, "non-standard" fonts
-> and characters.  I also thought that UCS-2 could encode any (registered)
-> natural script.  (Otherwise, how could Java get away with a 16-bit
char?)
->
->         So, what benefit is there to giving Pango a 32-bit interface?
-> Wouldn't any characters not in UCS-2 need custom fonts and/or glyphs for
-> rendering, thus making Pango unusable as the layout/rendering engine?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     A new encoding standards named GB18030 were publishd Mar.27,2000 in
China ,which uses 32-bit encoding. The old 16 bit encoding zh_CN.GBK will
be replaced with it. So I think it is still usefull for 32-bit encoding .
