Some time ago (~ 10 days), I posted a message about problems with 8bits chars
with idraw (from 3.0 beta). As I get no answer, I don't remember if I have really
sent my prepared message. So, please excuse me, if it has been already posted.

The problem is that some 8 bit chars, most of the ones acceeded with ALT-SHIFT- key
are ignored. Some others, acceeded with  ALT-key are ignored too, mainly c-cedilla
e-grave, which were previously bound to:

ALT-g and ALT-h

Has someone else encountered the same problem ?

As I live in France, I use A4 format (21x29.7 cm). So I have modified idraw's
default format. You will find the context diff below. One of idraw enhancement
could be a resource specification of the drawing area. It is now the third time
I change the dimensions for idraw, and I don't know if I change the sources in
the right way. Maybe I forget something !

Thanks in advance for your help.
