Introduction of a "type mode" and an "unicode mode" of input

A distinction between two types of input, a "type mode" and an "unicode
mode" in all Calligra applications. In "unicode mode," there should be two
boxes, one that asks to "choose unicodfoe range" and the other that asks to
"choose unicode font." Users should select an unicode range, such as Greek
or Cyrillic, and then choose from a number of unicode fonts, which should
come with Calligra, that support that range.

"Type mode" and "unicode mode" are different even now. If someone wants to
type in non-Western European characters, they usually type in "type mode"
using fonts they buy. Another option is to type in an unicode font such as
Arial Unicode MS, and the other unicode fonts are obscure. As one plus,
"unicode mode" of input will allow these typists to type in their language
or script without having at buy extra fonts.

Plus word processors and email clients and apps usually do distinguish
between "type" and "unicode." This feature will fully allow someone to
type, create, and share documents in unicode.
