Yes, I think that GetFontSetOrFixed/GetFontOrFixed should be used evreywhere.
In a perfect wolrd we should have a libs files FText.{c,h} with F* functions
with the following correspondance:
GetFontSetOrFixed or GetFontOrFixed <-> FGetFontOrFixed
XmbTextEscapement or XTextWidth <-> FTextWidth
XmbDrawString or XDrawString <-> FDrawString
... etc ...
Basically, almost no I18N_MB ifdef should appear in fvwm codes (but
in the FText.{c,h} files). Also the arguments of the F* functions
should be carfully chosen to allows "text extension" as using Xft
text rendering.
This is in my TODO list, but not in the first position at all. So, if
you want to do it your are welcome.
