Universial Character Set 2. I hope this is the proper name for 16-bit
encoded Unicode code points?

Recently found the Online Unicode 3.0 Standard:

I have a problem here: if the table contains properties (BTextControl) 
where not not all fit into the visible part of the scroll view 
it should be possible to navigate with the keyboard (Tabulator key). 
This works without any additional efforts, but a property could get
the focus that lays(sp?) outside of the visible part. Now I tried to
override MakeFocus of BTextControl and when this method
is called the parent view should be scrolled to a position where
the property is visible.
In theory this is fine, but in practise MakeFocus is not called.
I assume that MakeFocus of the BTextView that is part of
a BTextControl is called instead. 

Any idea how I can achive what I want using the BTextControl?

Of couse I could implement my own TextControl where I could
override MakeFocus of BTextView.

Good idea. Will see if I get the motivation to change it soon.

Hmm, I have made it that way because the decission if a font should
be embedded depends mainly on the font size and the font
size of a face of a family could largely differ.

What I also want to do later, is to allow to chose which of the
standard fonts should be used as the substitute if the
font is not embedded.
