[JW Lua] Solving the font name unicode issue, another suggestion

[Jan Angermüller]

Jari,

instead of implementing the full unicode feature for font names which is 
practically never used (only one non-Finale-compatible music font 
<https://elbsound.studio/music-fonts.php> is known and all 500 text 
fonts <https://elbsound.studio/text-fonts.php> that I found in musical 
scores don't need unicode either), wouldn't it be a very easy solution 
to simply put a wrapper around the main access of the font name string 
that converts it once to/from unicode.

Then Finale still works internally with unicode font names, but the JW 
Lua/Finale Framework can remain as it is. It would be possible to fix 
this later, if required. But I don't see a benefit at the moment in 
supporting unicode font names in JW Lua.

Unfortunately I don't know the code, so I can't make a more precise 
suggestion.

Best,
Jan
