I've attached that version to this message along with a file from the Azardi website which contains the UN Declaration of Human Rights in 28 languages. The embedded DejaVu font does not work properly but using the Arial Unicode font lets me see most of the text files. Amharic, Malayam and Thai are among the missing.

Thanks DNSB, I'll take a look.
Koboifying definitely helps for the bidirectional languages, but
gives some rather strange results elsewhere (e.g. Chinese) where
some of the font characters scale and others do not .
The blank pages were for adding more stuff (which I've now done) so
I'll merge in bits from your copy and post another soon.
