Minimal Japanese character set consists of about 3500 letters and they are mapped in 8000 character contiguous range ( in case of Shift JIS encoding ).

I don't know well about unicodes. There are at least four encodings which are popularly used on the Web (JIS, EUC, ShiftJIS, and unicode). It would be very happy if we can focus only to unicode, but standard Japanese PalmOS allows only ShiftJIS encoding. That is, TxtMgr is designed for Shift JIS encoding. So if we want to support other encodings, we must prepare handler routines for double byte characters for each encoding. (It is not very difficult.)

Anyway I feel it is possible to support double-byte user fonts.

VFS font will be helpful, I hope.
