"change case" not working for Unicode characters

[Guest]

I am using a Unicode font in Word 2003 running under Windows XP SP2.

For the following characters that are entered in lower-case, I am unable to
"Change Case" to upper-case or turn on Small Caps for these characters:

m-overdot
n-overdot
t-underdot
d-underdot
l-underdot
n-underdot
m-underdot
s-underdot

I have experienced this with atleast 3 different Unicode fonts.

Has anybody else seen this? Is this a known bug and if so, is there a
workaround?

Thank you,

Hi Ramesh:

I think that's not a bug (well, it may be a bug, but in the font, not
Word...).

I believe that if the font you are using does not contain upper-case
characters for those characters, or if the font is not correctly encoded to
indicate the upper-case variants, then Change Case will have no effect, and
thus, so will Small Caps.

I don't know enough about those characters: do they actually HAVE upper-case
variants?

Regards
