For Unicode acceptance, most Windows users don't matter. Short of leaving Windows, they are locked into Unicode. To a lesser extent, most users don't matter. It's a developer's choice whether or not to use Unicode, and for the most part, it's transparent to the users. Breaking ASCII transparancy for Unicode in some poorly defined circumstances (or even well defined circumstances) is hardly going to encourage developers. -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
