Yeah, just trying anything I can find so see what works as it should. There
aren't many. :)

When you switch to specific languages, do you also have to switch fonts? I've
definitely hit the 512 glyph limit on multiple occasions, and I don't have any
GUIs on my Linux Vms. So my Windows machine is the only place I can get 99.9%
utf-8, all of the time, between Thunderbird via NNTP, or this Winpoint.

Hafa a soð to syge, þonne þu secge hwæt.
Always have truth as your goal, whatever you say.

Regards,
