What are plans if any for dealing with non-european
character sets?  Many things are already out there
like Multi-byte schemes and Unicode.

What if anything does RT want to do to deal with the
need for internationalization?

Is there a problem as well because not every platform
Rebol ports to has Unicode support, etc.?

What about fonts in /View?  If I want to use a particular
font, is there a universal font format yet that will run on
all platforms?  Can I create one and ship it with the code?

Even non-vector non-scalable fonts would be better than nothing.
I suppose you could turn them into lots of little bitmaps and
stick them all in a little gif file and write a routine to blit chars
onto the screen from the font.gif for that, but yuck!

Ever curious,

p.s. I looked in the bookstore here in Santa Cruz for rebol books
last weekend but there didn't seem to be anything.
What should I be seeing about now?
