[vtk-developers] UTF8 text rendering

[Marco Nolden]

Hi all,

I wrote a little fix to enable the rendering of utf8 characters. I think 
the restriction to ascii actually was a bug caused by the incorrect 
conversion of signed and unsigned values which did not work for 
character codes >127:

Maybe you could include that till the unicode support is fully implemented.
