Subj : UTF-8 question

Hello Martin!

I think we had a little chat about UTF-8 before (can't remember), but why  
is it that OXP doesn't display utf-8 chars all that well?

A recent post in UTF-8 echo has a collection of the phrase "Happy New  
Year" from world languages.  I wouldn't expect Arabic, Cantonese and some  
of the other "graphic" chars to render in OXP.  But would have thought  
that at least French, German, and even Spanish could be rendered in the  
DOS world of OXP just fine, but they are not.

This is what I see when reading the post in UTF-8 echo:
