About  to  publish  a patch for katriawm and tabbed: Render text using
  Pango. I want to have proper rendering of UTF-8 text.

  What I absolutely don't like is the dependency on Pango and GLib. Ugh.
  I'm not sure if that's worth it. That's a massive beast. :(

  Maybe I'll drop those patches.

  Yeah,  dropped  them. It's not worth it, just for title bars. I rather
  live with some unrendered characters for now.
