+With the addition of Xft2 support in the WINGs library, now
-Window Maker can also support antialiased fonts. 
+Window Maker can display antialiased text with TrueType or any scalable fonts.

+UTF-8 Support
+-------------
+
+Window Maker now uses UTF-8 internally (and thus can display UTF-8 text
+in window titles and other places). Menus and po files must now be
+encoded in UTF-8. If your menus contain non ASCII characters, you can convert
+them to UTF-8 with the following command:
+
+iconv -f <current-file-encoding> -t utf-8 <filename> > <filename>.utf8
+
+For example:
+
+iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 menu > menu.utf
