My guess is that you'd need to get s suitable font for NVDI3 or 4 which
contains the relevant characters. Presumeably there's a standard order as
far as Ascii numbering is concerned, hence the odd characters you're
getting. A suitable font would, I imagine, replace the appropriate letters
in the appropriate place. However, you may have to change fonts to go back
to viewing western texts. I have seen some suitable fonts knocking around
the 'net for download, but as I have no use for them it's something I've
never tried - to be frank, the results would be just as much gobbledegook
to me as using a western font:-)
Good luck
Andrew
