Yeah, just trying anything I can find so see what works as it should. There aren't many. :)

When you switch to specific languages, do you also have to switch fonts? I've definitely hit the 512 glyph limit on multiple occasions, and I don't have any GUIs on my Linux Vms. So my Windows machine is the only place I can get 99.9% utf-8, all of the time, between Thunderbird via NNTP, or this Winpoint.

Always have truth as your goal, whatever you say.
