1. Don't use an UTF-8 locale, but some other more suitable mb encoding 
locale. Xlib doesn't support UTF-8 well enough; see my XF86 bug report
forwarded to this list and the release notes.

2. Define -DCF_DE_USE_XUTF8 to use the Xutf8 string drawing routines
instead of the Xmb routines. The problem with these routines is that
the output may be more cluttered, stop drawing strings and unknown
characters and so on.

3. Wait until someone writes a drawing engine that doesn't use the 
Xlib (i18n string interpretation is done in Xlib, not the server) 
string drawing routines that are unlikely to be fixed, although 
there's really no reason why they couldn't work with all encodings.
