Looks like it boils down to installing/accessing the correct font on Unix. Guess we can toss out my example and just look at the widget demos and the chfont.pl demo zentara passed along.

Surprising that CPAN's perl 5.8.5 widget demo (snapshot here) did not have the Unicode demo that are in ActivePerl's (5.8.4, all OS's) widget demo

Here are the snapshots of the "Labels and Unicode Text" demo (unicodeout.pl): Win32 is correct whereas Linux, Solaris 8, and Solaris 2.6 all have the same problems.

zentara's chfont.pl had similar results: Win32 is fine, but Linux, Solaris 8, and Solaris 2.6 do not.

So the basic questions remains: Do we need to get a different font file? Where would it go? Does the script need to call a particular font a particular way?
