[PD] japanese text strangeness

[timon]

Hi, I have been trying to get an extended character set correctly  
mapped into PD from external text files. T. Mayer pointed out that PD  
(at least on osx) use UTF-8 format. So saving all my text files as  
UTF-8 lets them load into PD with the characters correctly mapped. In  
this way I am also able to get Japanese characters correctly mapped  
into PD. So now I want to bring them into Gem - the textextruded  
object. I am using the Hiragino OTF that ships with OSX. The font  
loads fine, but the Japanese characters will not display - reference  
the correct characters. Just a buch of very wrongly placed latin  
symbols and accents. Im feeding them straight from a symbol object so  
I can see its the right characters. Is there a limitation to the  
[textextruded] object? Or could this be the font?

Anyone know a fix here?

Many thanks
Timon.
