Rev fails to recognize Chinese

[ron barber]

Hi Fritz
How are you pasting the Chinese? Do you set the text of the fld to 
unicode? Do you set the textfont of the field before pasting?

uniencode(field "chinesetext",chinese) into fld "chinesefld"
set the textfont of fld "chinesefld" to "Hei,chinese"
