    JH> Here's another example that was posted with what looks like cyrillic   
    JH> text that ended up looking funky:   
      
   You will need a UTF-8 terminal to view UTF-8 for the most part.  If you are in   
   a CP437 font/mode and there is UTF-8 it often cannot be displayed or converted   
   back to the current codepage.  For example a CP437 terminal like NetRunner   
   would not have the cyrillic characters since they are not part of CP437, so it   
   cannot covert UTF-8 to CP437 in that case.   
      
   I do have a better "solution" to these types of things that I did a couple   
   years back, but its a lot of work to move it into the code so I just haven't   
   yet.  I really should do it soon though.   
      
   ... What was the best thing before sliced bread?
