I the font information in the handbook last night changed this last night (but
forgot to committ) to read:

<section id="hdbk-config-bt-Unicode"><title>Unicode Fonts (ISO10646)</title>
<para>Recent &Linux; distributions have Unicode support; however, only a minimal
set of unicode
fonts are provided with Linux Distributions.  The most useful of these fonts is
clearlyu.  Some
of the Sword modules have unicode encoding, most of these modules will display
correctly
with the fonts supplied in your distribution.</para>
<para>If the module you wish to display is parsed
in the display window as ??????????????????????? you you have encountered font
trouble. either
you are trying to display a module encoded in Unicode with a font that does not
support unicode,
or the particular unicode font you have selected does not contain the characters
you need.</para>

and so on

It is on the CVS now.  How does this look.
