The size of wide char is platform-dependent; under Linux it is 32-
bits, (Windows it is 16). Further, the problem with
gdk_draw_text_wc is that it is meant to work with font sets rather
than fonts, so that using it would require a more extensive
reworking of AW code.

That sounds like a very good idea to me. Will look at it later tonight.
