Not necessarily. Any sane implementation should just use wchar_t and substraction gets back. The width of the text is another matter, but it's a problem for truetype rendering anyway. What is still costly is then the conversion, which in principle only happens while talking with other programs (files/socket/etc.) Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
