Re: [MACTCL] How to display / Use unicode characters?

[Jim I. <ji...@ap...>]

This is a known bug.  The QuickDraw version of the Text widget doesn't  
properly handle unicode characters.  Benjamin Riefenstahl has a patch  
worked up to convert the Text widget drawing to ATSU, but it is not all  
the way done yet.  Last I heard, Daniel had found some performance  
problems with the patch that needed work.  The patchs for 8.4.x and for  
8.5 are here:

func=detail&aid=638966&group_id=12997&atid=312997

if you want to play around with them.
