   Hello Martin!   
      
   I think we had a little chat about UTF-8 before (can't remember), but why     
   is it that OXP doesn't display utf-8 chars all that well?   
      
   A recent post in UTF-8 echo has a collection of the phrase "Happy New     
   Year" from world languages.  I wouldn't expect Arabic, Cantonese and some     
   of the other "graphic" chars to render in OXP.  But would have thought     
   that at least French, German, and even Spanish could be rendered in the     
   DOS world of OXP just fine, but they are not.   
      
   This is what I see when reading the post in UTF-8 echo:
