I am very happy and thankful for your work on mixing UTF-8 into 1.1.x. Well, I'd would think a CTL could be for FLTK-utf-8 like UTF-8 was for FLTK. Unfortunedly it needs quite some work. On the other hand increases acceptance for FLTK. So is it probably the right thing for fltk2? kind regards Kai-Uwe Behrmann -- developing for colour management www.behrmann.name + www.oyranos.org + www.cinepaint.org _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list fltk@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
