Does it work then? It does, but the default is whatever directory has had the focus most recently.

No, on W98 it doesn't work with the mouse either on menu- or toolbar.

That makes sense. I needed arialuni.ttf in order to learn about using utf-8 and getting exotic characters from different unicode ranges into the same buffer and file. I guess I can live with the empty rectangles as long as I'm sure the correct bytes are "underneath" them.
