Charmap 0.1alpha

Description
---------------

Charmap is a character map for GNUstep.

Charmap 0.1alpha is the first release. I hope that the GNUstep 
community will provide feedback on bugs and suggestions for future 
versions. I'm particularly curious about how the application would 
work on displays not using UTF-8.

For best results, use Arial Unicode MS, Misc Fixed, or ClearlyU as 
your system font.

Known Problems
-----------------------

* When the matrix for a given Unicode block is generated, it doesn't 
deactivate the superfluous cells, resulting in barely-noticable 
overlap.
* The higher portions of Unicode still aren't supported (because I'm 
new at handling hexadecimal in C). This shouldn't be a big problem, 
since there are very few fonts at the moment which have anything in 
the higher portions.
* When you switch to another Unicode block, there are some NSLog 
messages about deleted rows which don't exist.

Enhancements Still To Come
----------------------------------------

* Font selection
* An Inspector which will display information about a character (CJK 
ideograph information, cross-references, decomposition, etc.)
* A goto option (by using the hex number or Unicode name)
* A Help feature using Nicholas Roard's HelpViewer
