unicode font names

[index at kenjikojima.com]

Richmond,

I found my problem. 
When I set a unicode label of pulldown menu, menu items are garbage characters.

I typed Japanese characters "フォント" in field 1.

set the unicodeLabel of  btn "pulldown Menu" to the unicodeText of fld 1

Then set them in btn "pulldown Menu".
