+* The GTK+ 2 case
+-----------------

+wxGTK 2.4.0 has support for the new version 2.0.X of GTK+. This means
+that wxGTK apps can now make use Unicode as the underlying encoding
+for all text operations. This is a very fundamental change and will
+need time to stabilize, so be careful. Anyways, after installing a
+recent version of GTK+ 2.0, do this
+
+> ./configure --with-gtk --enable-gtk2 --enable-unicode
+> make
+> su <type root password>
+> make install
+> ldconfig
+> exit
+
+If you are adventurous, you can install the FcConfig 2.0 package
+and the Pango library from CVS (or a very recent snapshot from
+the upcoming 1.2 series) and set do "export GDK_USE_XFT=1" so
+that the display as well as the printing code will use render
+using the same FreeType code even for Far Eastern encodings.
