Does LessTif support Unicode?
 Not yet. 
 There are more limitations than just a M*tif library which fails to do so - you may want to read the  UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux.  



... that settles the issue for my dream of upgraded nedit for unicode.
At least for the Free software world, that seems to imply a toolkit switch.
I don't see a lesstif unicode upgrade coming.


Alrighty then,

Thomas.
