I can't tell at the moment but it's definitely something that
could be a bug. I will take a closer look when I find the time
to start working in the UTF-8 version again. In the meantime
please be advised that the UTF-8 version is still in develop-
ment, there are still a number of bugs, also with drawing the
forms (due to the necessity to use TTF fonts that use anti-
alialising, which interfers with some aspects of the wat re-
draws are done).
                    A happy new year and best regards, Jens
