Standard/expected, see below. > If it's standard xwin behavior, I could see (from > a developer perspective) wanting to be able to determine whether the > user-selected driver is unicode-capable. Look for dev_unicode in the source files in drivers. You will see it is set to true for Unicode-aware drivers and is either false or not set at all (which is equivalent to false) for our traditional drivers that use Hershey fonts such as xwin. Thus, after the driver is initialized you should be able to test dev_unicode in the current stream in C, and after we finalize the current experimental getter-setter API for C and propagate it to our other languages, I believe you will be able to test dev_unicode in the current stream for any of our languages.
