Well, if the font is UNICODE compatible, seems like it should work.
Here is a list of Windows UNICODE compatible fonts:
http://www.hclrss.demon.co.uk/unicode/fonts.html

UNICODE is just a mapping format.

Problems:
1) Win 95 and 98 have very poor & outdated UNICODE support (translation
tables are outdated),
2) Windows fonts are sometimes hard to find when not installed.

Maybe we should look for an open-source font and pre-install it with
pgAdmin II.
Any ideas friends?
