	This Fall I am going to be doing an independent study at 
CIMS-NYU that entails setting up a Japanese word-processor for 
VAXen running UNIX with (I am hoping) Sun terminals to handle the 
local graphics. 
	I have had experience doing bitmapped graphics on micros
(aka IBM-PC's) to implement Asian language word-processing. Has
anyone out there done work with the Sun's in this area? I am aware
of some of the more difficult problems involved with this task
(such as having to access a large database of data quickly, moving
chunks of it around, etc.), but are there any unexpected problems
that are involved with this? 
	I would appreciate any information in this area.

				Thanks,

P.S. TO THE NET.GRAPHICS DIRECTOR:
	I hope that I'm not disrupting the notefile by leaving
	this posted. Thanks.
