UTF-8 NFKD is the normalization form used on Windows and Mac OS X, while Linux generally uses NFKC. Both forms are backwards-compatible to US ASCII, but remember that English may still need access to non-ASCII characters - typically special symbols, but an English reader will still want to see a Japanese name displayed correctly. In any case, FLTK should be able to display a label string using any of the normalization forms, although it may not handle right-to-left, vertical, or rewritten (e.g. Arabic, Vietnamese) text properly. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Michael Sweet, Easy Software Products mike at easysw dot com Internet Printing and Document Software http://www.easysw.com _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
