I do not think that 2.2.x has i18n support. 2.4.x simply uses the X
i18n interface (with enable-multibyte). What happen is that
XCreateFonSet (an Xlib i18n function) does not load
"-*helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" as XLoadQueryFont
(a "simple" Xlib function) load a font in this case. In 2.5.x
things are more complex. I do not think that we should do someting
special in 2.4.x.
