Nothing :-) It's a nice idea to provide default strings for (some) Unicode blocks instead of the `brown fox' pangram. Toshiya, ftview (and other demo programs) already provide the possibility to view a string given on the command line, so it's not clear to me what problem you see. > Right now Freetype supports dinosaur platforms that did not bother > to upgrade the compiler better than modern 64-bit platforms.

The *library* itself shouldn't use C99, but I don't object to using C99 for the demo programs, so please go ahead.
