Hey,

It's time to start supporting for modern character sets/maps in such
things as titles and other things where ctwm displays strings.  So I'm
thinking on working on it in a separate branch (to be named later),
and my plan is to have the result become part of ctwm 4.0.

I've a question before starting, to all the i18n people on the list;
what would you recommend, that I go for multibyte (in other words,
functions such as XmbDrawString()) or wide chars (in other words,
functions such as XwcDrawString())?  From a programmatic point of
view, wide chars are probably better since it's easy to spot mistakes
already in the compiler.  But I have zero experience programming with
these modern characters (yup, I'm an old ASCII/ISO-8859-1 junkie who
realises it's time to get free from my addiction ;-)), so the advice
from experienced people would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Richard
