  94. The main disadvantage of the Japanese character fonts for computers is that
  95. they do contain all sorts of foreign alphabets including Greek and Russian
  96. but do not contain any GERMAN UMLAUTS!!!
  97.  
  98. So how should one ever be able to edit a Japanese-German dictionary?
  99.  
  100. For instance                                             **  **
  101. this is a German umlaut and should be written like this:
