To use them create your own encoding +(see 'tap-enc.mf'). Full list of available symbols can be obtained by + + grep "iff known" tap.mf | sed -e "s/iff known \(.*\):/\1/" + +The set of symbols contains accented latin-based characters (identifiers beginning 'latin_') and some special symbols +(identifiers beginning 'sign_').
