In 7.2, we released (in Preview) better application level support for Unicode - but limited to Windows. What this does is display a character properly, assuming the proper font is installed on the Windows box in question (as opposed to older revs of VW, where the proper font would not necessarily be found). Here's my question: In the short term, we can go slowly on this, striving to create a better cross platform (i.e., all supported VW platforms) solution. Or, we can get better Unicode support for the Mac done sooner, at the possible cost of delaying a cross platform solution. What do people think?
