Why would ARM not work? Most of the Xorg code is platform neutral... Seems to 
be lots of people using it successfully on ARM already.

As ever, google is your friend...!

Also, trawl about on the Xorg website, as most of this stuff is integrated into 
the default Xorg tree now, so you don't need anything "non-standard" at all 
anymore.

The key difference in text rendering between fltk-1.1 & fltk-1.3 is support for 
Unicode, and support for UTF-8 as the preferred text encoding.

If you need Unicode text handling, then you need to use a host system that can 
provide the xutf8 services that support it.

If you do not need Unicode support, then fltk-1.1 is probably simpler to get 
working in a non-compliant setup.

Note that the other text related change was in the choice of text renderer - 
fltk-1.1 defaults to Xlib with XFT as a configure option, whilst fltk-3 
defaults to XFT but can be set to use Xlib as a configure option.
I'm not sure, but I imagine the older Xlib API may be more compatible with 
nano-X.

The change to Unicode and UTF-8 is in the release notes. Indeed it is one of 
the key changes.
