how do people feel about killing off support for non-UTF8 (of which ASCII is a subset) encodings ? that means if anyone wants to pass in a string buffer, they would have to take care of converting it to UTF8 first themselves instead of us doing it for them.
specifically, it'd allow us to kill off gdkanji.c which is the only user of the iconv api. it would also mean dropping support for fonts in freetype that don't support unicode (i think).
what do people think ?
