> New Font Engine
> ---------------
>
> The font engine has been re-implemented. The UniPad font
> (UP.FON) will not be used anymore. UP.FON is no longer
part of
> the setup. The new font engine was necessary because of
certain
> display problems on Windows 2000. All glyphs are now
inside the
> UniPad executable UP.EXE which is now completely
> self-sufficient. You can put UP.EXE on any computer
without
> installation and it will work immediately.

> Support of Planes 1 to 17
> -------------------------
>
> UniPad now supports the character planes 1 to 17 of the
Unicode
> Standard and ISO-10646 (plane 0 is the Basic Multilingual
> Plane). These planes cover the code values from 10000(hex)
to
> 10FFFF(hex). Unicode 3.0 does not assign any characters in
these
> planes yet. However, UniPad will display these code values
as
> unassigned codepoints. See online help for more
information.
>
> BOM (Byte Order Mark)
> ---------------------
>
> Normally UniPad strips a BOM when loading a file. This
behaviour
> can be turned off now. The BOM can be used with all
formats now.
>
> New Glyphs
> ----------
>
> Glyphs for Hiragana and Katakana have been added.
