Interestingly enough it seems that most applications do not support
this properly. The only ones that I was able to find that displayed it
properly were TextEdit, OmniOutliner, and OmniGraffle. Safari and
OmniWeb showed the characters side by side, BBEdit Lite 6.1, Internet
Explorer, Microsoft Word X and Excel X didn't show the characters at
all (I got question marks and other characters).
It looks like the handling of these characters is
implementation-dependant. I would file some bug reports to Apple and
the other respective companies in order to get them to handle the
characters properly. Other than that I think you are out of luck with
regards to the "display dialog" command, until Apple changes how it
handles the unicode character it will continue to display it unstacked.
Perhaps someone can point to an OSAX that has a more unicode-friendly
dialog box?

Hi all,
The following script works, but display incorrectly:
-- Tibetan BrdaRten Character AOM
set AOM to +data utxt0F680F710F7C0F83;
display dialog AOM
The consonant and vowels should stack vertically. Horizontally, this
Tibetan character should occupy one character space. One might view
the correct result by TextEdit.app:
-- Tibetan BrdaRten Character AOM
set AOM to +data utxt0F680F710F7C0F83;
tell application "TextEdit"
make new document at front
set text 1 of document 1 to AOM
end tell
Any hints to this problem?
TIA
