    Dear All, Is there some open source graphics library that is compatible with unicode. I have checked FreeImage, it really rocks (as for my requirements) but it's not unicode compatible, so when I try to pass it a string (such as a filepath), it would take only const char *. The library should be standard C (since I may have to port the code to many platforms). I would be very grateful if some can guide me to something... - A programmer's national anthem; "AAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

      I used paintlib years ago, not sure if it ever supported unicode tho. Why don't you add unicode support, how hard could it be ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

        Dear Sir, Thanks, but you know, I am kindof lazy ;) so I want to go for ready-made thing (since my project is not Image library). and what about some documation tool? - A programmer's national anthem; "AAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

          Okay, lets say I start out to convert it to support Unicode support, there's a confusion, "Will the library still be platform independant" i.e. does ANSI/ISO C (not C++) support unicode? - A programmer's national anthem; "AAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
