Check for Xutf8DrawString and libunicode (the one from Gnome, not the one on sourceforge.net -- no it does not seem to depend on other Gnome libraries or even glib). The system.mk options are: DEFINES += -DCF_UTF8 EXTRA_INCLUDES += `unicode-config --cflags` EXTRA_LIBS += `unicode-config --libs` Yes, I know, the Xutf8 functions are XFree86 (4.x?) dependent, but with the more standard Xlib and libc multibyte encoding support functions backwards string parsing (title shortening, line editor) would have to be done very inefficiently for all encodings (unless extra bloat is added to handle known efficiently parseable encodings). I rather support a well though-out universally sufficient standard than dozens of different character maps and encodings that are causing enough problems already. -- Tuomo
