This is bilingual. I have found myself in the need to write in English,
Modern Greek (one accent), and Ancient Greek (many accents). This
is not possible using 8-bit fonts, since the glyphs for the accented
ancient greek alone are much more than 128.
Of course, it still remains to be seen if having Unicode support on the
console is a Good Thing(TM).
