  Thank you for trying this.  What was the FileDirectory related

  I thought textStyle3_2g.st takes care of this, but I may be wrong...
Did it get skipped for some reason?

  Thank you for this update.  However, I would imagine it would be
nicer if we encourage people to try the 3.2.0 version of UnicodeData
because I've never tried 4.0!

  I'll look into this.
