Look at the strings beginning with be They should all be together. be is an eespecially tough beginning-or-word string. You might also look at the syllable opcode. There are eexamples of it in en-us-g2.ctb also, for example, for head hood heart, etc. John On Sat, Nov 02, 2013 at 02:48:38AM +0000, Ken Perry wrote: > > I don't know if Joseph and Mesar have already asked this but I am helping > with the new UEB tables and have found either a missing opp code or I am not > able to figure out how to do the f10.6.4 UEB rule with Dis Con and Be.
