Thanks Courage.

My script is working 100% okay in Windows anyway. The problem is some of the characters displaying properly in Windows are not displaying properly in Solaris/Linux.

Looking at http://mini.net/tcl/11392, there may be issues using Arial Unicode MS on Solaris/Linux systems and I'm not sure where in those Solaris/Linux boxes I'd put it.

If you have a spare moment, you can try running my script on your Linux box to see if all the Chinese characters appear properly. Could be you have additional fonts loaded, but if it's the standard Linux installation, it'd be interesting to see if you get the same problem.

BTW, even though I'm an ABC Chinese, I can't read a lick of Chinese. I have to get someone else to give me the Chinese and then I convert it to the 16-bit codes.

The errors with Solaris/Linux appear on the screen as 16-bit codes (eg, \x{6c2e}) instead of the actual Chinese character. From the menu, start with CONFIG->Chinese, then click on EVENT ENTRY. (It will need Tk804. With Tk800, everything appears as garbage).
