I just love your comment at the top of the code:

  With the introduction of Unicode and UTF-8, Fl_Text_... has to
  go into a whole new generation of code. Originally designed for
  monspaced fonts only, many features make les sense in the multibyte
  and multiwdth world of UTF-8.

  Columns are a good example. There is simply no such thing.

  Rectangular selections pose a real problem.

  Using multiple spaces to emulate tab stops will no longer work.

  And constantly recalculating character widths is just much too
  expensive.

  But nevertheless, we will get ths widget rolling again ;-)

Never say die!
