Which OS are you using? Which locale are you using? Does your OS have any locales?

This won't work when WinCSID is a multibyte charset, because the following line in \
the source says:

*type = XmFONT_IS_FONT;

but fe_LoadFont does not load a single font when cs is multibyte; it loads a font \
"group" (my equivalent of Xlib's font "set" and Motif's font "list").

If you want your hack to work, you can try a slightly different hack:

cs = INTL_GetCSIWinCSID(csi);
if (cs & MULTIBYTE)
{
    cs = CS_LATIN1;
}

I don't know if keyboard input will work correctly in HTML form text widgets if you \
have hacked the font in that way. Try it!
