Hi Jean-Michel,

I spoke with with Paul Barrett (who wrote the font manager and has
done a lot of work with fonts/text) about your problem and neither he
nor I have any immediate insight into your problem, so I just wanted
to let you know that we'll look into it and see if we can improve
international / unicode support, but it may be a little while before
we can solve this problem.

Thanks for letting us know.
