I'm a little bit confused about your goal.
Do you want to change fonts, or do you want to change the keyboard's
language?
Since you say you are a Windows user, let me put it this way, as an
example. Do you want to change from "Times New Roman" to "Arial"
fonts; or do you want to change from English keyboard to a German
one?
Independently of your current goal, the UTF-8 request may still be a
valid one
for someone else.
