Hi Alastair,
Just tried to compile tcltk with Benjamin's patch for unicode fonts display.
Tried it with 8.4.12 and then 8.4.10 with no success.
With the patch on tk8.4.10, i get numerous errors of non declared symbols.
Worse, without the patch i still can't compile tcltk8.4.10, at the very 
last compillation step, i get this:
ld: warning prebinding disabled because of undefined symbols
ld: Undefined symbols:
_TkpMeasureCharsInContext
_TkpDrawCharsInContext
I guess i must be wrong somewhere.
Is there a version of tcltk that is known to compile on 10.3 with this 
patch?
best regards,
vincent
