Hi,
Sorry for jumping in late into the discussion (been busy...)

Nitpicking, but "OS-X" above should really be "OS X" or better yet "Mac 
OS X".

Now, for the unicode support. It sounds like a very good idea, but I 
don't think the freetype road is needed (or even possible) with 
AquaTerm. OTOH, the Cocoa string classes support unicode 
out-of-the-box, see e.g. (id)stringWithCharacters:(const unichar 
*)chars length:(unsigned)length or NSUnicodeStringEncoding docs.
You can also use the %C (note upper case) format specifier in a format 
string to get unicode characters. I'm not sure if the full UCS-4 code 
is supported, but UTF-8/16 are.
