I would like to ask if WINE will support multi-byte character printing?
The PostScript driver itself has rudimentary support for the Unicode BMP (U+0000 - U+FFFF). It does not support multi-byte characters or wide characters.
But U+0000 - U+FFFF contains almost all eastern characters. Last time I checked there were very little characters that needed two UTF-16 characters to be encoded, and they were mostly based around music notes and special symbols.
Ok, just rechecked. The following codes are outside the range:
* Byzantine Musical Symbols * Musical Symbols * Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols * CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B <--- Would probably prove that my previous assesment was wrong. * CJK Compatibility Ideographs Supplement * Tags
And some private use sections.
Do the characters that render to the characters at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U3400.pdf print correctly for you? If so, then Ian's assesment is probably correct. If not, then there is probably another problem.
