The problem I mentioned in my 2007-01-04 posting, item #2, i.e, the disappearing of the é (U+00E9 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE) characters from the title of the firefox window showing http://jv.gilead.org.il /sjv.html is solved (in my en_US.UTF-8 locale). The problem in item #3, i.e., the extra space after the ´ (U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK) in http://jv.gilead.org.il/ still persists.

I've solved the problem for my case (UTF-8 locale), simply by having
text properties go through XmbTextPropertyToTextList() even when the
type is STRING, instead of just copying the bytes.  It simply converts
the ISO-8859-1 (which is the normal encoding for STRING type text
properties) string to UTF-8.

Please extract the latest revision (f2abcc859cca628f2b368c51e6451063743bce8d)
and try it out.  I'm especially interested in how it works with
non-UTF-8 locales.

Cheers,
Richard
