Fm9.0p255: trouble in Unicode paradise

You're welcome, Richard.

I don't think I mentioned Fm7 in my original post, did I? And I don't know
who advised you to get Fm7 (and I don't want to know), but that piece of
advice just doesn't make any sense at all because:

   - Fm7 does not support Unicode.
   - I don't think you can buy Fm7 anymore (or you'd have to search for it
   really hard).

Cheers

Yves
