OK - I confess I was only thinking about display of CJK, not input, too.

That said, I have used fltk-1.1.6-utf8 and fltk-1.3 with the OS IME's on
winXP and ubuntu to input some very limited Chinese stuff and it more or
less worked (so far as I can tell.)

In each case, the environment pops up a little input window for the
input to go into, and it then gets passed to the app. This sort of
worked OK, though the pop-up is maybe meant to be modal for the window
receiving the input and I'm not sure that worked right on my ubuntu
trials. Also the pop-up window seemed to have the wrong "decorations"
and I couldn't figure out where it was meant to be placed - it popped up
in what seemed to me to be the "wrong" place.

I suspect we are not setting some window hints, or hooking some lower
level X11 API or something here...
And I haven't tested this since the very early stages of 1.3, so I have
no idea where we stand right now - hopefully we are no worse off!

So what we really need is someone who knows what is expected by the
users and can help us clean this up. 

FWIW, input of Greek and Cyrillic was fine, when I tested, as far as I
could tell.

I don't really know anything about the input of Indic or Semitic
languages and so did not try any of them.
