I need a vector based illustration program such as Visio or Adobe Illustrator that can handle signiifcant numbers of non-European, non-Latin-1 characters. Otherwise, my needs are very simple (Just circles, squares, and text really) I've been using Visio 5, but it won't go beyond Latin-1; and as near as I can tell from Microsoft's web site Visio 2002 is no better in this regard. I only need to draw one figure, so I'd rather not spend a fortune. I could use it on either NT, MacOS 9, or Linux. Can anyone suggest a drawing program that might suit my needs?
As a last resort, I suppose I could write a Java program to auto-generate an SVG image, but that feels a little like using a hearse to haul dirt around my farm. It would probably work, but isn't really the right tool for the job. :-) -- +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Java I/O (O'Reilly & Associates, 1999) | | http://www.ibiblio.org/javafaq/books/javaio/ | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=1565924851/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://www.cafeaulait.org/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+
