Thanks for your kind offer, but I think I will try it myself first.
Anyway, that would only be an individual solution and not for the
<general> public.
Apart from languages which can be written with ASCII (or ISO-8859-1),
Japanese pods could be most common, but I rather thought in terms of
user friendliness. If some person needs pods in Tibetan script, why
not? A font menu, or font preferences like in the MacPerl menu, would
be a nice thing.
I need to write/view Japanese characters and German umlauts, therefore
some Unicode support would be really cool, but thats asked to much, I
presume.

PS: I am one of the guys who uses pod not only for Perl related stuff,
but for many formating/writing tasks.
