Recently there're several posts about displaying or printing
other characters (Euro sign and Japanese). In those posts I see that
*archaic* charsets (ISO-8859-15) are still used. Know that Unicode was
supported in the kernel in the very first versions (round 1994 or 1995
if I'm not mistaken), Linux was once a promise to a new era where
charset conflicts won't exist, however, WinNT (and esp Win2k) was
several steps ahead in supporting Unicode. I really hope that Linux
community could promote even faster the use of Unicode. Mandrake, which
is far ahead in supporting i18n and l10n, could (or should) provide
solutions where Unicode is used, or encourage more people to use
Cyberbit font file (the only Unicode file I know of for the moment), or
even provide Unicode subrange font file as alternate solutions.
