This works perfectly in AbiWord. You'll have to have the fonts set up and working for the languages you need. Preferably TTF fonts. This can be tricky if you haven't already done it but AbiWord has docs to help you get it done. When opening a HTML document to edit the HTML you'll want to open it with the "Plain Text" or "Encoded Text" importers - otherwise you'll see the HTML formatting instead of the HTML code! If you start from a new document, make sure you save as "Encoded Text" and select UTF-8 from the encoding dialog. Let us know if you have any problems. Andrew Dunbar. > Mike > -- > Michael D.
