Speaking of non-Latin characters, I just want to get a Chinese 
character font.  Maybe a 14bit ASCII code would do.

Seriously, there are word processors for Chinese now. One can type in
a Romanized pronunciation and be presented with a choice of characters
to display.  It seems rather slow, but it beats handsetting the type

Having been a MAC enthusiast, the MacWrite uses the alternate keycap
to display a limited set of greek characters within a standard font
like Geneva or Chicago.  Using the C= seems like a good choice.

BTW, are there any scientific publication quality graph rendering
programs for the AMIGA?  I have been using the program called GRAPHER
put out by Golden Software for the PC.  I would really like to do
likewise with the AMIGA.  I have heard of Doug's Math Aquarium, and 
some other programs, but they seem to designed for plotting out
functions and playing with visualizing Mathematics.  I need to take
data and create a publication quality plot.

E-mail me any info about the graphing. TIA
