To read/write unicode text, you need three things:
your application defaults set correctly, a font file,
and appropriate X fonts installed.


1.  application defaults (either with xrdb or $XAPPLRESDIR/Wily)
Your application defaults should point to a font file,
or you can start up wily with
wily -p9font fontfile
*p9font:	/usr/pgrad/gary/lib/font/prop.9.font
*p9fixed:	/usr/pgrad/gary/lib/font/fixed.9.font

2. Font file (e.g. ~gary/lib/font/prop.9.font) 
The first line of this gives the line height and ascent,
the lines afterwards are unicode ranges and X font names.
e.g.
18	13
0x0000	0x0019	lucm.latin1.9
0x0000	0x007F	-bigelow*-lucida-medium-r-*-*-16-*-*-*-p-*-*-*
0x0000	0x00ff	lucm.latin1.9
0x0100	0x017E	lucm.latineur.9
0x0180	0x01F0	matty.latinext.9
0x0250	0x02E9	lucm.ipa.9
0x0300	0x0308	matty.gendiacritics.9
0x0370	0x0372	matty.greekpunc.9
....
0x9800	0x99ff	jis.jis9800.16
0x9a00	0x9bff	jis.jis9a00.16
0x9c00	0x9dff	jis.jis9c00.16
0x9e00	0x9fff	jis.jis9e00.16
0xe000	0xe05f	matty.tengwar.9
0xfee0	0xff5e	lucm.latin1.9
0xfffd	0xfffd	pelm.fffd.9

3. X fonts
The only source I'm aware of (please tell me if you know different)
for suitable X fonts is 
ftp://ftp.cs.su.oz.au/matty/unicode/libXg.utf.fonts.tar.gz
which contains most of the maths and sci. symbols, and
a lot of CJK glyphs.

Adding these fonts to your font path is a bit system specific,
good luck :-)
