Is this true? Rev doesn't print Unicode?

Hi Dan

You are right, Rev does not print Unicode. See bug 1955 which is listed 
as unconfirmed and passed on to Michael. The following is a description 
of the problem. I have mentioned this several times but no response so 
far. I would love to be proven wrong...

Type Unicoded text into a fld and then use the various print options 
available to us.

<revprinttext >
put the htmltext of fld 1 into thetext
revshowprintdialog false,true
revprinttext thetext
=== This results in a blank page(s) being previewed as well as 'printed'

put the text of fld 1 into thetext
revshowprintdialog false,true
revprinttext thetext
=== This results in the unicode text being printed in ascii format ie. 
incorrectlly

<Print card...>
This can be used. One just needs to clone a stack with a field the size 
of the printable area of the
chosen paper, add a little to the topright and chop off a little of the 
bottomleft to get rid of the fld
outline and it passes as a printed page of text. It is not an ideal 
solution however.

<revprintfield>
This works for ascii text but not for unicode. The results is a blank 
page(s) similar to using revprinttext
using htmltext.
