I'm too exited to keep this to myself. It has to be tested further,
with other browsers and on other platforms, and with people that can
write Chinese, but since this could useful to other double byte
languages, here a way to create a story in Simplified Chinese
(GB2312) in a Manila site. Thanks to Keola Donaghy who gave me
judicious advices.

Here's what I did. The server run Frontier 7.0.1 on Mac OS 9.0.4.

(A) Paste
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312">
in Prefs->Advanced->Template in the header of the template.

(B) Set MyManilaWebsite.prefs.isoFilter to false.

(C) On the Mac, at MyManilaWebsite.["#filters"].finalFilter, add this
line to the filter:
pta^.renderedText = string.macToLatin (pta^.renderedText)

See <http://scriptdigital.com/divers/simplifiedchinese.html> for
proof of the concept.

Cheers
-Emmanuel
