Still most scripts *do* work. > QT handles this better. And jmf's complaints are otherwise invalid. I don't know about the Python bindings, but I know for sure that GTK has excellent Unicode support. (My only concern is that one particular API uses UTF-8 byte positions rather than Unicode codepoint indices, which may or may not have been papered over in the Python bindings.) Qt is probably comparable. wxPython/wxWindows maybe, maybe not, given that it aims for Windows API similarity. But it's something worth checking, given that Tk doesn't do so well. And yet... a few simple tests will prove the point. Don't listen to jmf, just check if you care. ChrisA
