So, I've just spent some time working on one of the biggest deficiencies in 0.70.0-beta1: Unicode support.
For blackbox users: This means that blackbox is on EWMH compliant, and exchanges strings with EWMH compliant applications/utilites in UTF-8. If you use the right fonts, you should see any Unicode character you want. For example, take a look at http://trolls.troll.no/bhughes/blackbox/blackbox-unicode.png For libbt users: The API has changed slightly from beta1. There is now bt/Unicode.hh, which includes some nice functions to convert from the user's locale to Unicode and back. In addition, you can convert from Unicode to UTF-8 and back, but you should rarely need this. A new Unicode string type has also been introduced: bt::ustring, which is used for any string that can be displayed on screen. Questions/comments/flames are more than welcome. :) -- Bradley T.
