one man reported problem that vncviewer doesn't show Russian letters
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501832).
After quick inspection main problem is that libX11 text routines
(mainly XDrawString) doesn't support UTF-8.
What if you use the UTF-8 variants like Xutf8DrawString?
I guess that's possible, for those platforms that supports this extension.
According to my man page, it was added to XF86 4.0.2. I guess platforms
such as Solaris 8 does not support it? That would be a problem for us.
In any case, getting full language support is more complicated than just
start using Xutf8DrawString. One needs to handle right-to-left writing and
things like that.
