[STR New] Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2376 Version: 1.3-feature 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.
