This does add working UTF-8 support but it also results in several
serious regressions:
1. the xfont directives are being silently ignored and some
other font is being substituted instead
2. the quality of the font rendering is much worse
3. wrapping of multi-line paragraphs is broken
(a) centered paragraphs get left justified
(b) paragraphs spliced together with the %cont directive don't
wrap all the way to the left margin, but only to the location
of the %cont directive
I'm attaching a sample test.mgp which illustrates these issues.
My guess is that the m17n is somehow disabling the xft2 engine and that
xft2 and m17n are probably incompatible until something is fixed upstream.

A short centered line.
This should be more than one line of centered text. \
When libm17n is used, it no longer centers it.

Here is some text with a

green
%cont, fore "black"
word within it. When libm17n is used, it no longer wraps all the way \
back to the left margin, but instead lines the text up under the color change.
