How do I enter special characters outside the Basic Latin and Latin-1 character blocks? When I go to the Insert menu and select Character, I'm only given a choice of characters up through thorn, even for fonts that have characters beyond that. Isn't AbiWord Unicode-compatible?

I'm using Windows NT. The characters work okay if I copy them from somewhere else (Wikipedia, an MS Word document, what have you) and paste them into my AbiWord document, but that's a pain. As I said, if I go to the Insert menu and select Character, I'm only given a selection of characters from Basic Latin and Latin-1, even for huge fonts like Arial Unicode MS and Code2000. Did I maybe download the wrong version? (I have 2.4.1.)

Also, I can't get smart quotes to work. I go to Tools->Preferences->Layout and select "Enable smart quotes", but when I type I still get typewriter quotes.

Also, it seems not to be possible to format text as small caps. Is that true, or am I missing something? (I know I can always write it in all caps and then go back and put them in a smaller font size, but that's a pain too.)
