Hi,

I realize it's not very easy to support Unicode in Java.
However, although the Java language is platform-independant,
it's not so for the Java interpreter itself.

So :

1) If the platform supports Unicode (e.g. Windows NT), the Java
interpreter just uses it.

2) If the platform doesn't support Unicode, the Java interpreter could
implement itself a support for Unicode, with it's own font format and
its own fonts. Well, this is not very good for efficiency but it
could work.

Bye,

Christophe.
