I've asked one of current X_LOCALE coders Ivan Pascal about the problem. He said I was not absolutely right, even conclusions are correct. The history is that when it happened that people what to work with more than 7bit second half of byte was given to iso8859-1 and this is an Xlib standart. So it you have 8-bit string it is either us-ascii or iso8859-1. To deal with other encodings one need to use multibyte strings. So most of the people need fvwm to be built with I18N_MB. -- Alexander Kotelnikov Saint-Petersburg, Russia -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
