Hmm, that didn't seem to work. Methinks that 'unicode' support in Java and NT is mostly hot-air, since actually displaying is non-existant as far as we can tell. > Also, you can view a character set like this: > > xfd -fn -jis-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-150-75-75-c-160-jisx0208.1983-0 That works, but when I try to display unicode characters in a 'hello world' type of program I end up with question marks. Thanks anyway! Nate ps. I have the Japanese (jis) fonts installed, though they don't appear to be used.
