AFAIK, only when TEXT is requested, an selection owner can choose the returning type from STRING, COMPOUND_TEXT, or UTF8_STRING. When UTF8_STRING is requested, we should return it or return nothing. And, if Emacs owns a unibyte string, perhaps the right thing is to make it multibyte according to the current lang. env. (by string-make-multibyte) at first, then encode it by utf-8. --- Kenichi Handa handa@m17n.org
