There are other questions, that do not seem to be
considered, here, or that i fail to understand...

For example, when we implemented the National Strings
in RosAsm, there was a Chineese version... and a minor
problem with the viewings for this version. Then, to
fix the bug, i was in need to _SEE_ something on my
own screen. So, the Volunteer sent me... his FONT, that,
once saved in the required OS Folder, enabled me with
seeing the problem.

Now, with UTF something, would it be 8 or whatever...
Where are the FONTs, on the occidental Users PCs???

When implementing the Fonts Choice, for RosAsm, i had
to simply reduce the choice to the Fixed Pitch ones,
as you may guess,... QUITE FEW FONTS...

Then, there is one another problem with this UTF8 thing.

What with the occidental Chars above 127? There are
users who want them, would it only be for their Comments.
How would these ones come out in UTF8? What form?
