Trying the following on wish 8.0:
   set x \xef\xbf\xae           ;  # i-umlaut, upside-down ?, r-Registered
   label .l -text "abc$x"
   pack .l -padx 4 -pady 4

gives nice even spacing for all six characters. 
But in wish 8.1+ the c is followed too closely by the i-umlaut, making sort of an a-umlaut.



Verified for the default (proportional) font of labels in 8.2.

This seems to be OK for 8.3.4 using the default label.  
It's tight but there is space.  Also note 478568.  I've 
moved this to pending, unless someone finds that this still 
isn't satisfactory (notice Windows was specified, and I 
only checked on Win2K).
