Life isn't so bad for Mac users. Not as good as we'd like, but it's
something. Everson Mono is soon to be available (thanks to some wizardry by
Rick McGowan) in proper Unicode format for Mac OS X Server (download it
from http://www.indigo.ie/egt/emono/EversonMono-1.pkg.tar), and of course
there are all the free language kits available at
http://www.indigo.ie/egt/earra_bog/apple.
And now that Everson Mono works on Mac OS X Server, I get the opportunity
to decide to buy me a new G3 machine. :-)
