Fr�d�ric, I've been struggling for a couple of months with Revolution and Asian scripts. Obviously, the earlier Macintosh operation systems and HyperCard have spoiled me pretty much so that I have a hard time finding my way through all the marvels of OS X and Unicode and what not.
Nevertheless, I managed to put a program together for one course I gave this semester, practically everything in Chinese, and the result does not seem too bad, at least in my eyes, though I've lost count on how many times Revolution crashed on me. One of the worst drawbacks is that automatic line wrap does not work for Chinese. If you are dealing with large amounts of two-byte text and not some lonely characters here and there, you are going to waste a lot of time just fitting text into fields. I've written a very simple stack in order to import Chinese text from system 9 files so that one can work with in Rev under OS X. The method is primitive -I'm a philologist, not a professional scripter, and was under too heavy time constrains to develop something more sophisticated- but it works. Let me know if you want me to send you a copy. O yes, I should not forget to mention that one of the wonders of working with Chinese under these conditions is that some characters can not be "translated" and end up as something which looks like a line brake and is going to crash Revolution if you are not careful. I've identified four or five culprits so far, by no means uncommon characters.
