Is line 2 in Japanese or English of both?

Have you tried setting the textfont of the fld?

The following worked for me:
=======
answer file "What file"
put it into fname
put "binfile:" & fname into fname
put url fname into thetext
set the unicodetext of fld "notes" to line n of thetext
=======

I presume you are using RR 2.5 and not earlier versions.
