You know what I do in WordPerfect 5.1 to produce Chinese characters (that
mixed with English alphabets)?  I draw the Chinese characters with
Drhalo (a simple graphics editor, got it free with mouse), convert it
into WP-readable graphics format, and bring it in as a graphics box but
switch the box to "character" as opposed to default "paragraph".  Of course, 
this is only convenient only if you use the non-English characters in few
places in the document, which is what I did.  If you want a total
Hindi document, good luck.
