Good point from Duncan there... I was only thinking in fltk-1.1 mode, following the OP's post, so assumed it would only be ASCII text. Which ought to work... > but please be aware that there are some issues with certain non-ascii > characters (CP1252 0x80-0x9f) and line-wrapping involving Chinese/CJK > characters in UTF-8 that are currently being investigated. And we haven't even touched on the Indic or Semitic scripts yet... We know we have problems with CJK texts, but it does more or less work, much of the time. If we start looking at Semitic scripts, maybe Hebrew or Arabic, then we need to render text that is predominantly RtoL but with some bi-dir handling, and variable pitch, and tricky vowel handling and... Then the Indic scripts... Well, we are going to need some help with that...
