It is supposed to be supported in the 'Finder that Finds' ;-) in 
some 7.x version of the system as it is goung to use extended TextEdit
and understand about language id and styles so you will then be able to
display any language that you have a font for! Nice huh ;-?

But for the time being I think the best way is to decide what system one
isw most dependent on and if one needs an englishtalking Finder and is
still in need of filenames in lets say Chinese one could just specify
the font ID one wishes to use in the finders 'LAYO' resource with ResEd

Have fun

        "I quite agree with you," said the Duchess; "and the moral of
that is -- 'Be what you would seem to be' -- or, if you'd like it put
more simply -- 'Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it
might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not
otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be
otherwise.'"
