How accurate did you find him? I'm sure I've found errors on both the
content pages I've looked at. It means I ought to prepare
corrections. Yuck! Maybe I can excuse myself some of the effort -
I'm not up to regenerating his images.

A Uniscribe question arises. In a complex script, will Uniscribe
allow base characters and diacritice to be in different colours? When
I upgraded Uniscribe, I suddenly discovered that on web pages,
diacritics were taking on the colour of the base character. That was
a bit of a blow when I wanted to use colour to distinguish them, but I
can understand that in some cases rendering software cannot know which
part of a glyph corresponds to which, with all the consistency
problems that that entails.
