Foreign Keyboards

[Kenji Kojima]

Ron,

When you set a Japanese Unicode font on a text field. You can type  
Japanese and English text correctly. Even if you use a Japanese layout  
keyboard. When you use a default text field that is set an English  
font, you can type Japanese characters, but wrong symbols.

I do not have a Japanese keyboard of Windows, then I have not tested  
it on 2.9 and 3.0. I will ask about it to Japanese Revolution Forums  
later.
