Colour font discussion in 2002

Now that colour font technology is well-established, some readers might find the thread that I started on Monday 24 June 2002 in the Unicode mail list archives of historical interest.

Please note that my email address used at that time is not one that I use now.
I tried to work out ways to encode colour font technology at various times over about the next decade.
So when I saw the solution that Microsoft produced I was very impressed by the elegant and straightforward way that the people at Microsoft encoded colour fonts, as that elegant way to achieve the result had not occurred to me.
