It's not really about the fonts. Huffman compression only works at a byte level. To allow more characters - e.g. expand charset to a short - you'd have to drop huffman entirely and thus, expand bandwidth usage by a lot.

Good morning fellow Rune-Server users,
I was using duo-lingo learning some Russian this morning and i was working on an rsps release the day before. The RuneScape client (all of them so far) only support the latin-1 character set (English and other languages that use our alphabet, eg french or german). Now, I know we have some very talented souls on this website who could most likely make other character sets work in the client, eg mandarin character set or cyrillic.
It could expand our base of users for the website as well!
Just a thought
Have a nice day

Interesting. I was just recently told it wouldn't work with multi-byte sequence. I never really looked into it, but that's what I based my statement off of.
Well in that case, it really isn't that difficult to switch to a more advanced charset. Fonts seem to be the main obstacle afterall.
