 Not so! Unicode is the enabler for anyone who needs to handle
multiple scripts and languages, sure if you just want CJK then you could
use SHIFT-JIS but if you want to be able to hold text and not worry about
what script or language it belongs to and mix scripts and languages freely
then Unicode is the only solution.

 As for the font problem - that is want fontmap was invented for. I
thought Windows had something similar.
