Hi! I think the names of fonts would qualify as part of encoding (thus are examples of 'programmatic langauge'); however if you want processing done on them then you do have to broaden the meaning of [zxx] if [und] is not applicable (it might be; that is [und] might mean simply 'not determined'--not that it is a language but the encorder can't figure out which one, but that it is not in a determined languaage; however I still believe that with [zxx], [und], [mis],<BR><BR>etc. already out there, what we need is clarification before we order new subtags.<BR><BR> <BR><BR>--C.
