Since I want to display Unicode in Java, and haven't yet found out
the gory details, I volunteer to accept all available information,
figure out what it means, test it on Windows, Mac, and Linux (Red Hat
and Yellow Dog), and write it up properly. If someone else comes up
with a complete procedure, I still volunteer to test it, and to edit
it with illustrations (screen shots, diagrams, and code). I can
produce multilingual documents in MSWord, FrameMaker, PDF, HTML, and
TeX.
Does anybody know whether this process could be reduced to an
installation utility written in Java?
