Now it should work to use a Unicde font in a non-UTF-8 locale

I tested this with normal and rotated text using locales C,

Marcus, _very_ cool sorry for the delay in getting back to ya. I just
downloaded 'fvwm-snap-20030707' and tried the Arabic sample I mailed you.

Now FVWM can render combinational characters superimposed on top of the
base character (even if there is no precomposed glyph).
I tested the code with and without xft fonts and with rotated text.

Marcus, I just tried 'snap-20030611' with regard to combining

act of 'superimposing of characters atop each other'). As far
as arabic is concerned, still no composing is taking place. I'm
wondering if you are abiding by the order of
