Well, perhaps this is too much to ask. It certainly won't keep wmii
as small as it presently is because you'll have to work with some
external library like libpango.

Fine. How about one of the following simpler tasks:

1. Render unsupported Unicode text as extended-ASCII garbage. This
would make title bars appear as if I were using the en_US.UTF-8 locale.

2. Render only ASCII text and ignore everything else. This would
save me the trouble of mentally ignoring the extended-ASCII garbage
in title bars.

This should be possible by editing the source code, no?
