Esperanto & Revolution

[Toma Tasovac]

Igor, I sympathize!  Revolution LOVES turning all languages into 
Japanese :)

I've been struggling with Unicode for a while, but I am now at a point 
where I got things working more or less the way I want them.   There 
are still major unresolved issues, such as automatic word-wrapping of 
two-byte characters, clickText not returning proper values (at least 
not for Cyrillic UTF8), but I am less desperate now, because I have a 
feeling the whole thing will eventually work.  Now, my only experience 
is with Cyrillic and UTF8 -- but I see no reason why Esperanto wouldn't 
work with UTF8.

I was thinking of writing a little Unicode tutorial anyway... why don't 
you send me a stack which exemplifies some of your problems?  Let's get 
things rocking... :)

All best,
Toma
