Creator and Unicode

[Mehlhorn, Jeff]

Yep, I purchased 20 copies and the copy on my machine is registered.

I used the OS X Character Palette and PopChar at the same time. And yes, I
am getting the same glyphs from both. But let me be more specific. I am want
to access all the characters from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. And in
Creator, using the OSX Character Palette and PopCHar, I cannot access these
characters. All I get is the famous rectangular box. But if I use an app
like pages Apple's Text Edit, there is no problem at all. I can access all
the characters, even the Blue ones in PopChar Pro! And I can access all the
funky characters from the Character Palette too! I guess I am wondering why
Creator is giving me the rectangular box and no characters.

characters in Blue, I am actually talking about all the Maybe the Blue
characters in PopChar are the ones that are not fully supported?
