I'm pretty sure Klingon is not yet in Unicode (though planned). And I'm
not sure M$ will be able to cope, given that that'd be outside the 16 bit
range just like the coming Chinese name characters (UCS-2 may be nice, but
UTF-16 isn't).
Anyway, Xfree86 4.0 has some sort of unicode fonts, thanks to Markus Kuhn.
