I confirm that (rho-like character rendered on the left, omega-like
character rendered on the right) which should put this CTL concern to rest.

Thanks for your help answering this critical question (from my
perspective) for the three separate platforms.

By the way, could you let me know if/when your CMake-based build
system is completed to your satisfaction and ideally accepted into
official IUP?  I am prejudiced toward using CMake-based build system
alternatives whenever possible so official acceptance by IUP
developers of your build-system work will likely be the occasion when
I first give an IUP build a try.
