Usually, there will be a section of non-Kanji at the start of the font, and some empty space before the Kanji starts. JIS X0208 fonts are ordered starting at ENCODING 8481[0x2121] and can go to ENCODING 32382[0x7e7e]. The k14.bdf file seems to follow this order, skipping entries here and there. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- mleisher@nmsu.edu "I laughed.
