The only reference to Unicode on the Nisus web page that I found (when I last checked last month; I check major websites for updates about 1/month) is the following very bad advice, and there are no references to ATSUI (the Unicode library in Carbon), while the only references to Cocoa are a job listing for a Cocoa programmer and a one-line comment that they "are" rewriting the application entirely in Cocoa but have no release timetable, so I've assumed that it wasn't worth my while to test Nisus Writer support for Unicode until the Cocoa version is released. (Of course, the quoted page is from a time when "Netscape Navigator" was the only browser that supported multiple fonts in a web page, so it's obviously long out of date). Do you have more recent information to indicate that Nisus Writer does indeed already have Unicode support? Maybe you're currently using Unicode in Nisus Writer? Once a Cocoa version of Nisus Writer is available, it should be fully Unicode compatible (assuming we can get a keyboard). Thanks for the info, SL!

It is, of course, more awkward to create and maintain, but the effect can be quite good. Let us hope that in the relatively near future, a better solution, perhaps based on Unicode, becomes readily available. Until then, creativity rules! .
