Cygwin Tcl/Tk is 8.4.1, so I think there are bugs there.  With Tcl 8.5  
on all platforms, I get proper display of many different alphabets,  
let alone accents.  As for encodings, everything should use UTF-8  
these days. GNU/Linux distros and Mac OS X use it as the native format  
(more or less) while Windows uses something not too far off (UCS-16).
