I just installed cygwin in order to run fontforge on a Windows machine (while my linux machine is down). But since I am interested in working on font that covers the CJK plane, it is important that I can read text encoded in utf-8 or other non-latin codepage. I know that cygwin doesn't like unicode natively, but is it the same for the x-server? Is it safe to use ttf files from Windows (say, via a symbolic link or actual copy) fonts folder? I'll probably encounter more questions as I slowly get fontforge to display Asian glyphs.
