Aside from the matter of plain ol' bugs, the text displayed in widgets
might come from external sources like databases, network communication or
read from files in one of the gazilion ways that doesn't have idiot proof
encoding handling. There is also the problematic case of file names where
there is always a fair amount of ambiguity when it comes to encoding.

The simple fact is that UTF-8 has the possibility of being malformed.
Allowing the toolkit to handle that and visibly present the presence of
bad characters would be an improvement in my book. There is also the
matter of consistent behaviour across FLTK platforms.
