Superb! Thanks...

...and it works. well done. pasting some japanese text into a text field I
get some errors:

but apart from that it all seems fine - I can copy text over and copy it back
into amozilla form and the characters come out as they are supposed to. this
is exactly what I wanted.

the downside is that none of the non-european characters actually display
under GNUstep - preseumably because they are not in the font used
for TextFields ? I am not use what to do about that - I'm used to
mozilla where it seems to have characters for prettymuch everything... though
I am not sure how it does that (multiple fonts whichlook the same ? I dont
think it has one huge unicode font somehow...)

How does one change the font ina textFiled (or a TextView for that matter) on
the fly in a running application ? Can I indicate for a give TextFiled that I
am going to be typing russian and I wouldlike it to use a cyrillic font ?

The patch, however, seems to do the business as far as the copy/paste
problem goes. A bit more testing by a few other people and it would
be really nice to commit tis.
