Yes - the fl_expand_text() function in fl_draw.cxx is taking a too simplistic approach to string expansion. Basically it is still thinking in ASCII, which is not acceptable. So, if you draw a string "directly" without passing it through fl_expand_text() then it pretty much seems to work. But if fl_expand_text() is called (which happens automatically for widget labels, menu items, etc...) then the input string can get munged. Now, Fabien has a hackaround for this which is checked into the 1.3 svn for testing - it seems to work OK but I am a little concerned that it is still not sophisticated enough. It would help *greatly* if everyone could give it a spin and report their results (including the OP qiaogang chen if possible?) The test code attached to STR 2080 is a reasonable starting place for tests I think... But adding in any extra strings that are found to be problematic (e.g. Greg's new Japanese samples) would be useful. (As an aside: I have half an idea of how the "more thorough" fix would work, but I have no code - if I ever write an "improved" version I'll offer it up for consideration later... In the meantime, Fabien's fix is there and seems to work.) Note that Fabien also has a fix for window titles in OSX (inspired by a patch by manolo I think) that corrects the observed title corruption there. Again, testing would be a big help. In summary - please test and let me/Fabien know how it goes... -- Ian SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems Limited Registered Office: Sigma House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 3EL A company registered in England & Wales.
