OmniWeb?

[Benjamin Koo]

Hi, Omingroup members:
	It was really exciting to try out the features in  
OmniWeb.app.  I also discovered that we may use the Free Chinese font  
(provided by Jackson Inc. from Taiwan) to read usenet news directly  
off the Newsgrazer.  I tried to do the same thing with OmniView, I  
found there are some problems.  First, the preference option is not  
available right now.  Therefore, I cannot change the default font for  
the document view.  Secondly, there seems to be some difference in  
"big 5" symbol encription.  I can not decode the "Chinese big 5"  
document correctly.  I hope that when the final release is delivered,  
OmniWeb may include the capability to take care of double byte  
languages.
 

	The reason I brought this up is because that most other OS  
can only support double byte language decoding with seperate binary.   
This is certainly a major road block on the Information Super  
Highway.  If OmniWeb may take advantage of the multilingual  
capability of NeXTSTEP, it would be such a giant step ahead of all  
the X window system, Macs and MS Windows Products.  

	If there is any one else who is working on this issue, please  
let me know.  If I can help out testing some of the software, I will  
be glad to help out.

Thanks
