Hmm, that didn't seem to work.  Methinks that 'unicode' support in Java
and NT is mostly hot-air, since actually displaying is non-existant as
far as we can tell.

That works, but when I try to display unicode characters in a 'hello
world' type of program I end up with question marks.

Thanks anyway!

ps. I have the Japanese (jis) fonts installed, though they don't appear
to be used.
