Markus Kuhn's UTF-8 page

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#activate
feels strongly that it should be easy to make _all_ your
applications work in UTF-8 mode, without having to remember a switch
for each one. Every application should simply note a UTF-8 locale
setting and switch into UTF-8 mode automatically.

Therefore, for the Unix port only, there's now a checkbox, enabled
by default, which causes the drop-down Translation box to be
overridden if the locale indicates UTF-8. Anyone who doesn't like
this, or doesn't like MGK, is welcome to turn it straight back off.

I'm not _completely_ convinced by MGK's argument myself; for
xterm/pterm to do _useful_ UTF-8 you also need to specify a decently
Unicode-capable font, and there's no way _that_ can be automagically
done on noticing a locale setting. But it's a de facto standard
(i.e. xterm does it :-) so I might as well at least be _able_ to
support it.
