I haven't been following this thread very closely, but I've used the htmlText to
correctly display Arabic (after reversing the order of the entities). There's
more to it than that, but... If you can manage the display of Arabic using the
htmlText field property, maybe something similar could work for Japanese.
Food for thought...

Aha!
Actually, this is probably correct. Fields can have a textfont property
independent of the text chunks inside it. That allows you to have a
field's textfont set to Courier and a text chunk in the same field set
to something else. If you haven't specifically set the textfont of char
1 to 290, then it will be empty and instead it will inherit the field's
font.
What this tells me though is that it is most likely not a unicode issue.
I was wondering if your problem might be related to the printing failure
of Japanese fonts that popped up in another thread. Guess not.
One more thing to try: instead of pasting the accented characters from
another app, try putting them in using numToChar(). Your fonts may
differ from the ones I have on my Mac, but in Courier, for example, the
two accented "e"s are numToChar(142) and numToChar(143). I could insert
these into a field without pasting by saying:
put numToChar(143) into char 1 of fld 1
I wonder if doing it this way would produce characters that Rev can
print. Maybe there is something about pasting from another program that
is making a difference.
If that doesn't work, then a short, 1-card stack with a sample field
that fails to print would be a good thing to submit to the QC Center. It
should print, RR has verified that, so if it doesn't it needs fixing.
