Here's my code:
Your code seems basically OK - attached (assuming the attachment
works!) is a screen-shot of your code running on this Mac - you can
check it and see if it has rendered your strings correctly.
It looks OK to me, but then it is not a language I know...
I think the problem is that you need to explicitly set font that
contains the necessary glyphs to render the characters you need. The
default fonts that fltk picks tend to be more suitable for LGC
languages groups, so I suspect that on your system the fonts don't
provide the required glyphs.
What system are you on? That might make a difference here.
With fltk-1.3, on Mac OSX, the fltk code attempts to leverage the
Apple font substitution code, such that if the selected font does not
have the required glyphs, it allows OSX to search for a replacement
font that does.
This can be slow, of course, but it means that, at least for me, your
code basically works OK.
Something similar is possible on Windows Vista, although how well it
will work I can not say.
On Windows XP or earlier, or linux, you will probably have to
explicitly set a suitable font directly in your code to make this
work. See the font examples in the test directory to see how that is
done.
The utf8 demo might also allow you to search through the fonts that
fltk can find on your system and see if there is one that might suit
your needs.
Hope that helps.
