Rev fails to recognize Chinese

[Andre Garzia]

I ain't no guru!!! but have you tried reading from file instead of 
pasting... I know you want to paste but as they say, if the door is 
locked, break the window (well it sounded like that). If you just want 
to have your text on a field, you can copy from HC, paste to 
SimpleText, save and read, right?

I know this is a lousy solution, but until a revGuru point you in the 
right direction, this might help.

Cheers
Andre
