Chinese characters not visible in SL.

They're visible on my machine in general, eg 我写中文一下, but in SL comes out as ******.

Every other application on this machine handles Chinese fine, including MSN and so on, so this is a little odd?

I already have full CJK support installed on my machine. I see asterisks

when people try to talk to to me in Chinese.

Please fix this bug! I was looking forward to a more multicultural experience in SL

EDIT: Forgot to mention; even the emailed IM received from a friend when I was offline did not come through as Chinese text. It came out as: ä½ å¥½å?ï¼

Whee.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll enter a bug. Also, good idea on the download -- we'll get it added.
