Bruno:

I've got some very rough stuff hacked out for UTF-8 support in gletters. 
  I've hit a stumbling block that I hope someone can help me with.

AFAICT, ASCII is hard-coded into gletters.  I've hacked out some 
guesswork for generalizing this into arbitrary character sets, and got 
some ideas on how to handle multiple sublevels based on charsets, and 
how to deal with increasing difficulty levels in arbitrary charsets, but 
I'm stuck.

Where do find (or generate) the charset given the locale information?  I 
have not found anything anywhere that even tells me where to look.

What I need is to fill an array with the UTF-8 chars for the locale. 
I've found all sorts of ways for dealing with UTF-8 charactes, but 
nothing that tells me how to generate a Czech alphabet if the user has 
LANG=cz_CS set (or a japanese character set if LANG=ja_JP is set.)

This being an internationnal list, I hope someone can point me in the 
right direction.  Reading the docs for locale, the various LC_XXXX files 
don't have a charset for the locale anywhere.

Thanks,

--Yan
