Are you sure it is utf-8? On 1.1.9 I'd expect it is more likely to be some ASCII code page (although for many western code pages, that's indistinguishable from utf-8, for small character values, of course.) With 1.1.x series, which is not properly utf aware, I don't think you can count on the same encoding behaviour across platforms. There are utf-8 aware patches for the 1.1.x series that should do the "right thing" across platforms, and fltk-2 is utf-8 aware, and fltk-1.3 is going to be RSN (but I don't think it's been patched yet..) > Character conversion is not a problem as long as I know what > to expect.

This should be event_text() I think.
