The report-page shows that the report is still Open, yet I do not see any evaluation or any sign that it has come to notice of the concerned people/department.
Hence the question: is https://bugreport.apple.com the right place to notify bugs?
Thank you for any suggestion.

I think this bug is now 20 years old
And still open[/quote]
then it is a mac os 8 or 9 bug … it surely won’t be fixed
That’s true of any computing environment. Apple. Microsoft. Xojo. I once found a bug on a PDP-11 where the FORTRAN optimizing compiler screwed up a for loop (back in the 80’s). This took a marathon 36-hour debug session. I submitted a bug report and threw in some bogus code to satisfy the optimizer. I don’t think the bug was ever fixed.
Actually the bug I notified them about, is related to Apple’s implementation of unicode for Bangla, where a certain character sequence turns out wrong. Imagine, in a roman script, that the horizontal stroke over a “t” printed too much on the left: would not such a minimum bug forfait the scope of writing in languages using roman fonts?
With a clumsy workaround the problem could be redressed indeed (for Mac users), but, again, would not the scope of unicode become vain, when that text is opened by Windows users?
