My greatest problem is not to display the characters -- it's to type
them.  I have a so called national keyboard with funny extra
characters that are used in C and C++.  For example, | requires me to
press three keys simultaneously: Alt + Shift + <.  Some keys have 6
different symbols.

By the way, here is a quick test of character code compatibility.  If
the line below shows 4+4 letters, then 8-bit code works as advertised.

The letters should be circle-a, umlaut-a, umlaut-o and umlaut-u; four
lower-case and four upper-case.

And if it doesn't work....

	in practice than in theory.
