Error

[Adam Illian]

Apparently, on top of "asian" characters, normal western fonts like "helvetica" and "veranda" are not
displayable (if that is a word).  And it is why I asked
in the first place.  thanks for the advice though.

Double-byte fonts are used for the asian fontsets like Chinese and Japanese.
These languages have so many different characters that they cannot be caught
in the simple 1 byte (8 bit) codings that western languages can do with.
