Just to let you know that there have been several discussions about
this in fltk.development, as there are already several related STRs:

http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2158
http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2348

http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2343
http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2155

As can be seen in the recent "Unicode spaces and line breaks" thread
in fltk.development, and several other previous discussions, one of
the problems is whether to support CP1252 characters 0x80-0x9f, which
confuse the UTF-8 handling by breaking the synchronisation properties
but which are commonly accepted by web browsers and therefore users.

The other problem is that the Fl_Text_{Buffer,Display,Editor} widgets
are based on Nedit code which potentially handles all sorts of wierd
capabilities which really complicate the buffer management, such as
embedded 0x0 bytes, tab and control character expansion, rectangular
text selections, etc.

Basically, the code was already complicated any conversion to UTF-8.
