Not for menus, text entry boxes, etc. I'd really expect that if you
run in a UTF-8 locale, things might just work with your application.
(Well, as well as core X fonts ever work.)
And if you aren't running in a UTF-8 locale, things will be hopeless.
Motif and its dependencies are completely tied to the idea that
they are using the encoding of the locale.
A lot of old Motif apps (Acroread, Netscape 4) don't work well in
UTF-8 locales, but that's generally application bugs.
