>From your comments, I assume you are using fltk-1.1 ?
It has no support for any character representation other than basic bytes, nominally as ASCII. If you need to use non-latin alphabets, you can basically do this by setting the "code page" appropriately for your alphabet. This works for some languages - e.g. it should work for Russian, for example, but not for Chinese... Also, it is not a very portable solution. No version of fltk handles "wide" characters, so attempting to use wide-character representations for your strings will not work. Fltk-2 and the various utf8-patched versions of fltk-1.1, handle all strings as utf8 encoded Unicode strings. http://www.imm.uklinux.net/fltk/fltk118-utf8-2007-10-11.tar.bz2 might be one place to start if you want a utf8-capable version of fltk-1.1. There are others around on the web. Using one of these variants should resolve your questions, I expect. The only issue then is ensuring you have appropriate fonts selected to provide glyphs for the various Unicode values in your string, which is a much easier thing to do!
