Alright! I can use multiple languages now in a text pane (i.e. English, French, and Japanese).

I have noticed a problem, the cursor is not aligned with the character. It seems 
to be set to the byte offset of a character in the string and not the printed character 
location in the visible text.

Another issue I am having is not being able to set the font for the window title 
as displayed by the window manager. I tried a few different places (AutoWindowObject,
WindowObject, ogre), but I don't think I am doing it correctly or something. I can't
even get French to display, this was the case recently in the text pane until you 
made a fix. I imagine this is related somehow.

Thanks for all the fixes you made so far. Lush is definitely starting to progress towards
having internationalization support.

Raymond
