There are some silly performance claims in there, but I think my favorite part is "An Unicode text console is both a danger and a waste. The right mode for presenting a large variety of complex glyphs is graphical mode using a specialized program."
That console's already using multiple megabytes just as a frame buffer. Some extra fonts are not going to be a problem.
(Also how exactly are they pronouncing "Unicode"?)
