I rescind my suggestion. For world peace. :)
Actually, I had never taken a close look at OpenType. I didn't

client & server?
It would have looked better in Doubly.
Actually, I think the client just sent DPS to the server, which rendered
it to the screen. I had hoped that Gosling would someday release the NeWS
sources, but I imagine it's all tied up with Adobe IP.
Would be neat if someone cloned NeWS using Ghostscript as the engine, but
Apple has already done Quartz with PDF, so I suppose PostScript is passe'.
(Sorry, my old xterm doesn't do combined characters, just to jerk the
thread back on track.)
