Mostly for the heck of it, I'm making a Unicode font. I'd like to make it include the CJK range, since I have some uses for Chinese as a Kung Fu instructor, but there are thousands of letters! I could write a script to compose the letters from the radicals (and that would be good enough for what I need, I don't need anything too fancy) but I can't find a list that says what radicals are combined how to make each character in the list. Is there a list? I can't draw them all myself individually. I found a list that I can figure out the base radical, but I would need all the radicals and how they're combined.

I'm actually making the unicode font for the Syriac and Hebrew, pluss I want something that has a bunch of ligatures for Greek. Chinese would be nice because I'd like to have one good font to just set MS Word to use and be done with it, rather than having to switch back and forth, but I have specific things I'm trying to accomplish in Syriac, Hebrew, and Greek, so those are necissary. Latin is easy, so I'm doing that. I just want to set the font for the doc and not have to worry any more about switching for specific langauges. Right now, I've got to switch for a Syriac font that I think is okay, but not great, a Hebrew font which sucks, and a Greek font that is fine but a completely different style and so looks akward.
