If I have a unicode string is there a way to print this with the right 
font foreach character. The problem is I have to select a font based on 
the characters in the string. European characters I would prefer to 
print with the buildin fonts of my printer while for instance chinese 
has to be printed graphically with simsun.

Is there a way to do this automatically for a whole string or do I have 
to print character by character? If I have todo it character by 
character how do I determine which font contains a certain unicode 
character?
