The attached patch enables the use of Unicode fonts for utf-8
locale. Utf-8 locales need to be able to access arbitrary Unicode
characters in a Unicode font; further the utf-8 locale differs from
other locales, such as the iso8859-* set, in that the utf-8 coding is
not used by its native fonts which are coded using UCS-2.
Consequently, neither the single-byte mechanism used by the ISO-
8859-* locales, nor the multibyte method we use for CJK can
handle utf-8 locale. This patch implements the necessary changes,
the behaviour for all other supported locales is uneffected.
