I asked this a while ago in a different form, but got no response.
I'll ask the question as best I can; please try to forgive my ignorance.

The situation, plain and simple, is that I would like to know if the
Athena widgets can display characters with diacritics (e.g., cedilla,
umlaut, circumflex, etc.).  I tried to 'relabel' some of the keys on
my Sun (using xmodmap) so that some of the function keys would be
bound to diacritics, but the Text widget won't display them as diacritics.

On the other hand, it seems as though the HP widget set does support
diacritics.  At least when I use Xwebster (which uses the HP widget
set), I can see the diacritics I type.

So will the X Toolkit support diacritics, or does it already and am I
missing something?

Any information would be greatly appreciated, including info on *any*
toolkits that support diacritics.

Thanks in advance,

	George
