Oli,
Thanks for the reminder about Yudit. I personally haven't dug through that
codebase, but it definitely sounds like a excellent potential source of code
for handling a wide range of Unicode issues that we're currently grappling
with, especially input methods and TrueType fonts on Unix.
I suspect that in many cases we'll want to use higher-level APIs provided by
GTK and/or the new 4.0 release of XFree86, but if there's ever a need to
grovel in the lower-level details, this code is a very obvious place to be
looking.
Paul
