Strategies for two-byte char systems

I know for sure that on the stack itself Japanese characters are
displayable -- assuming, of course, a Japanese-capable OS with Japanese
font(s). But MC itself, for example in the property windows for
font-selection or a text-field, will display characters as "goobledegook".
And editing Japanese text thru a stack is possible but a mess ... hence mine
and some others' past request that MC support two-byte chars, but which
unfortunately is not at the top of the feature request list... :-(

About converting to HTML, I guess it would work, but I don't really know.

BTW, this topic's been raised before, and IMO was covered well by Dave
Cragg. Search the archives for his name -- or perhaps he'll answer you
himself any moment now :-)

Hope that helps.

Cheers.
