Thanks, but I'm more interested on Unicon because of the cheap but usable GUI
support, OOP and some network featurs, as it seems a sane multiplatform 
alternative to Java without the Oracle trap. 

As I said, having Unicode in the 21th century it's a must. I could
print some utf8 encoded strings (in code) and they printed well
under my terminal, but I had no luck on XFT/Unicode support
on the desktop. That and XFT (nothing fancy, 
something basic like TCL/TK would be more than enough) would
make a matching dream to the current bloatness.
