That is interesting, but I also wonder: Which size of font do people want and where do they want to process Unicode? In file contents, file names, URLs? Only in a special app (e.g. Blocek Unicode text editor for DOS) or everywhere? Do they also want to type Unicode? Or maybe use some sort of popup char table to enter Unicode? Or just not type it?
