How to start this project...

Hi Jacqueline,

I realise now the selectedChunk is certainly the wrong way to go!

Yes. I want to detect what the user typed and replace it from an 
"input" list and "output" list.

Unfortunately not.
Entering ab, in my graphic 
...http://www.clubtype.co.uk/revDev-abc/abc-rev.jpg
you see that a to b has a join.
The b is the standard keyboard 'b'
Now if the User enters c, another (non-standard) b is required 
somewhere else in
the font. There will be about 1,400 characters in  a Unicode font. Far 
more than the
standard single-byte 255 character standard. Accessing the Unicode 
characters is another issue.
For now, I just need the ability to detect and replace  
-as-the-user-types.

The c, having only a space after it, does not yet require any joining 
stroke.

Hope that clarifies...
Adrian
