It looks to me like this is hitting a TODO in XsharpSupport.c in the 
TryCreateFont function.

Summary:  German umlauts and german sz are not displayed

Original Submission:  german umlauts and german sz are not displayed in pnet 
0.6.6. 

In MS .NET the test exe (TestGermanUmlaut.exe) produces a correct display of 
all umlauts and the german sz, see Screenshot_CorrectDisplayGermanUmlaut.jpg.
In pnet the same exe only displays the texts without all umlauts, see 
Screenshot_WrongDisplayGermanUmlaut.jpg.

When compiling the source file (TestGermanUmlaut.cs) with pnet's cscc, it seams 
like the compiler removes the umlauts, because there are the following warnings 
: invalid UTF-8 sequence,..., see Compile_TestGermanUmlaut.txt.
This it not true, because when setting the locale address@hidden the german 
umlauts are correctly displayed in pnet.

I think it is a bug if for displaying unicode text the appropriate locale must 
be set.
