I need a vector based illustration program such as Visio or Adobe
Illustrator that can handle signiifcant numbers of non-European,
non-Latin-1 characters. Otherwise, my needs are very simple (Just
circles, squares, and text really) I've been using Visio 5, but it won't
go beyond Latin-1; and as near as I can tell from Microsoft's web site
Visio 2002 is no better in this regard. I only need to draw one figure,
so I'd rather not spend a fortune. I could use it on either NT, MacOS 9,
or Linux. Can anyone suggest a drawing program that might suit my needs?
As a last resort, I suppose I could write a Java program to
auto-generate an SVG image, but that feels a little like using a hearse
to haul dirt around my farm. It would probably work, but isn't really
the right tool for the job. :-)
