     If WordPerfect won't do it, ChiWriter will!  ChiWriter is supposed to
be a scientific wordprocessor, but because it's (essentially) true WYSIWIG,
it's an excellent multilingual wordprocessor as well.  The default
keymappings for international character sets even makes sense!  (Unlike
WordPerfect...)

     ChiWriter is unfortunately a little hard to find.  Just in case you
have trouble that way, here's the address of the manufacturer:

     Horstmann Software Design Corporation
     P.O. Box 5039
     San Jose, CA  95150
