The whole multibyte support is basically untested :-) I can't remember the minute details, but there are several places where internationalised strings are not yet handled. Then there was this font problem you reported a while ago. Finally, it's implemented using dozens of ifdefs all over the code. This can not be the final solution. A library like implementation like the Xinerama library is needed. This includes a font/fontlist management module that hides the details from the caller.
