“There are, as I see it, two basic ways to get around
this.“1. Install every font set and allow for every single type of
encoding available. If your OS supports it, you should know be able
to read Japanese Kanji and Russian, German, French, etc with the
proper characters displayed. Still, I’m not sure there’s any
guarantee that this would always work, or that the benefits of
keeping a huge cache of fonts and displays wouldn’t end up
under-weighing the burden.”
