Sample program to trigger utf-8 issue

Reproduced.  Wonder if this is related to the move to ucs4 for python.

Indeed it is.  Removing tcltk-8.3.5-ucs4-for-py.patch, it displays just fine.

Misa, do you have any utf-8 test-cases for tkinter?

In tcltk-8.3.5-90 I have disabled the ucs4 patch for now, since it seems
to be breaking utf-8 support.  But this is probably not the final
solution.  At least now "utf-8.wish" displays ok again, though the
equivalent(?) Tkinter python script does not.

Tkinter equivalent? to utf-8.wish

Actually this script doesn't seem to display correctly with
or without the patch.  What is the right way to do this with
python and Tkinter?

try:

... text=u'...'

instead of

... text='...'

Works on my FC2 box
