Hello,

When my locale was en_US.UTF-8, I used to see some extended-ASCII
garbage in place of Unicode text (in the Telugu language of South
India) in clients' title bars. But when I change my locale to
te_IN.UTF-8, the same Unicode text (which used to appear as garbage)
now makes the entire title bar blank.

Having all blank title bars makes the stacking layout useless. So,
is there a way to enable/add Unicode rendering capabilities to wmii-3?

I recall that there was some libcairo used for Unicode rendering
back in early wmii-2 days, but it never rendered Telugu properly.
The only library that has managed to correctly render is libpango.

Thanks for your consideration.
