I am surprised that you say that Windoze doesn't actually support Unicode.  Does
this mean that using wchar in C++ will just bring out some gibberish? I tried
using a Unicode font in VB and it was very messed up (with most characters
sensibly converted to squares :)  Anyway, I always thought there must be some
way to use other alphabets in programming Win95.  For that matter, does DOS
support Unicode? how about Linux?

With that said, it is easy to input and output data in a certain font in VB
(just use the properties window), and you can actually manipulate the characters
to a certain extent from the program.
Any help on the subject is welcome.
