unix fonts: xfree and ttf

Yes, the XFree server, or the FreeType font library that it uses, 
handles TTF Unicode fonts nicely, you just need to specify iso-
10646-1 in the font's XLFD. TTF are not the a problem, but Type1 
fonts are.

I have had a look at the CJK code earlier, but it has the enormous 
advantage of being monospaced, so they can get quite easily 
around the afm file.

Thanks for all the other suggestions, I will look into it.

with regards Tomas
