Since you use getISOEncoded for keyboard handling, I think that
getISOEncoded should also receive the encoding of the current font:
char getISOEncoded(int c, Encoding & enc)
You can then use the conversion functions of QT
http://doc.trolltech.com/3.0/qtextcodec.html
Or, you can add a simple unicode->8bit method to the Encodings class:
char Encoding::to8bit(int c)
{
if (c < 256 && encoding_table[c] == c)
return c;
for (int i = 0; i < 256; ++i)
if (encoding_table[i] == c)
return i;
return 0;
}
and then getISOEncoded is just to return enc.to8bit(c).
