utf-8-string

[address@hidden]

Hey all,

I see a shortcut for utf-8-strings in pango-font.cc.  This is all well and good 
except that it is hard to do box approximations on these guys (it'd require 
adding lots of code).  How mad would LilyPond be if I just deleted all of the 
utf-8-string business?  I don't think it'd change the visual output...it'd just 
get rid of a shortcut.  Does anyone have any justification for keeping this 
shortcut?

Cheers,
MS
