I believe the normal method on free Unices (i.e. with gtk and Qt)
is to use packing boxes - a bit like Java layout managers. That could
still be a problem with, say, Chinese, and it also makes it harder to
construct a really beautiful dialogue box. But it's probably the way
to go in a graphical client. Another interesting thought - does Telnet
have any support for non-Latin1 text?

I dunno, chauvinistic Americans :) If you'd looked outside your own
borders when inventing ASCII we wouldn't be in such a mess today ;)
