I don't understand enough about Unicode to say whether the pali text we
can mark, copy, cut, paste from window to window is in a 100% unicode
compliant format, but the test below shows that metta.lk does not
produce utc8 output that looks right.
The other 3 sources look right, except maybe for the "Â" in Evaṃ me
sutaṃÂ.

I did have to install fonts to get metta.lk pali sutttas to look right
on my computer. The other 3 sources worked right out of the box, even on
my dad's windows XP system which is 4 or 5 years old, without having to
install anything extra.
