“Microwindows v0.88 will provide greatly enhanced support for
Far Eastern languages. The new release adds support for Chinese,
Taiwanese, and Korean fonts, using four different character
encoding standards. Beta version 0.88pre9, containing the new
support, is currently available for download from the Microwindows
project website.’

“Support for the global standard Unicode-16 and Unicode-32
encodings, combined with Microwindows’ support of TrueType font
rendering allows many free and proprietary Chinese, Kanji, and
Japanese fonts to be used in both the emulated Win32/WinCE API, as
well as the Xlib-like Nano-X APIs….”

Microwindows is an Open Source project aimed at bringing
the features of modern graphical windowing environments to smaller
devices and platforms.
Microwindows allows applications to be
built and tested on the Linux desktop, as well as cross-compiled
for the target device….”
