Not knowing any of these GUI platforms (although I've read some about 
Tk), I have some questions.

* Which of them use UTF-8 as their native Unicode interface?

* Which makes it easiest to discover and adjust font metrics such as 
kerning?

* Which makes it easiest to obtain bounding rectangles of a piece of text?

* Which makes it easiest to use a set of fonts such as Times (for Latin) 
and others for Cyrillic, Chinese, and Korean? Or which supplies a font 
configuration that can "just be used" for any language?
