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

[Camilla Boemann]

Hi

I don't  understand this either.

1) all text in calligra is unicode
2) we have a dialog that allows you to enter specific charactes from any 
unicode range
3) yes it is true that the font used to show the text has to support the 
script. But a few free unicode fonts do exist already
