I haven't even looked at this UTF8 stuff, so I don't know whether the following even applies, but maybe someone will find it interesting... As part of something else, I just saw mention of ICU and then found http://ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/ where: "The International Component for Unicode (ICU) is a mature, portable set of C/C++ and Java libraries for Unicode support, software internationalization (I18N) and globalization (G11N), giving applications the same results on all platforms." and one of the subsequent bullet points states: "Complex Text Layout: Arabic, Hebrew, Indic and Thai" As this is one of the points that Ian keeps making, that people will need to work out how to handle layout on top of the UTF8 stuff this looks at first glance that it might save someone some work. Then I also found the "UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux" at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html and the section What is the status of Unicode support for various X widget libraries? even mentions oksid's UTF8 port of FLTK. As I said, I'm not doing any work in this area, so this may be helpful, or it may be a complete red herring because it's not applicable, or it's too heavy for a Fast Light Tool Kit.
