I don't know what fonts are installed. Some things work, some don't. I
found an APL font but it looked like it mapped into the 128-255 range
which would make it not compatible with unicode, I think. Unicode is
still confusing to me. It has planes, it has private areas. It has codes
bigger than 65535. "u:" doesn't handle those bigger ones, so how can
they be displayed in J? Maybe that's a Windows problem. I entered some
and they just came out as squads. Is that because I don't have the fonts
(if that's what they're called) or is it that Windows can't handle them?
It took me just a couple of hours to add the support to the script to
display unicode. It took me days to figure out unicode and U8. I still
don't really understand it.
I'll look at the Vector site and see what it looks like. But what I
really want is some "officially recognized" unicode APL font/character set.

I thought that Don should already have that font installed.
Incidentally this font could be downloaded from vector website,

Or you may use your favorite APL font instead, but I'm not sure if
unicode mapping is the same or not.

to display APL-like unicode font, you may use
wd 'setfont prim "APL385 Unicode" 10'
|domain error: wd
| wd'setfont prim "APL385 Unicode" 10'
Perhaps you should include a wget/curl command for that case...
