That's why he mentioned the Superpatch :)  It does include Kochin 
Chang's patches for DBCS fonts, and an attempt at handling Unicode 
characters, but to tell the truth I've never been able to get the 
Unicode stuff to work, and I don't have ready access to a DBCS 
font for testing.  I'll look into this a little harder and post 
my findings here, unless somebody beats me to it.
