I removed about 90% of the X11 specific FLTK keyboard handling in Carbon a while ago. Assuming that the Cocoa version builds on it, we should still be letting OS X handle a lot of the keyboard input. I type a lot of German on my US keyboard and getting Umlauts works as it does on all OS X native apps (Alt-u, vowel). I have not tested Asian scripts simply because I do not understand them.
