Crowd Funding Enhancements

[Tim Selander]

Hi Jan,

I have on two occassions (pre-open source and post-open source) 
downloaded and tried Quartam Reports. But both times it fell down 
for me in trying to handle Japanese/UTF8. Can't recall if it was 
in presenting the data or in the editor itself (or, of course, 
could have been operator error!) but I couldn't make it do what I 
needed...

If the LC of the future makes good on its, 'it just works' goal 
for UTF8, and Quartam Reports followed suite, I would become a 
happy customer, no doubt.
