One regard though. "Normal" C/C++ functions/methods work well with UTF-8 Unicode encoding only if byte mapping is in question in byte counting/comparing. However if one for example wants to perform case insensitive comparation between two UTF-8 strings, that is to use "toupper" and "tolower" function, it wont work, unless (UTF-8) locales is used with wide char's (wchar_t) and then return as a UTF-8 string with i.e. "wcstombs()" fucntion, to FLTK as char string. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
