+Unicode fonts
+=============
+
+The new libXg distribution supports Unicode. Sam and 9term built using
+the new UTF libXg will allow one to enter and edit files containing
+Unicode characters encoded using UTF-2 (UTF-FSS).
+To use them:
+
+o convert the bdf files to whatever format is appropriate for
+ your system and place the files in a suitable common directory
+o set this directory up as an X font directory by running some
+ program such as `mkfontdir' if necessary
+o add the directory to your fontpath `xset fp+ fontdir'
+o make sure libXg knows about the fontfile you wish to use by
+ setting the appropriate .p9font X resource (or just *p9font) to
+ be something like /lib/font/Xg/matty/unicode.9.font or by
+ specifying an appropriate -p9font argument to libXg programs.
