As promised, here is a (still somewhat experimental) patch that  
should allow display of arbitrary international characters and  
strings, provided the required fonts are installed - including korean  
text.

To test the patch, please compile & load the attached file "patch- 
fonts.lisp" and start your application by wrapping the call to it in

(let ((excl:*locale* (find-locale "de_AT.UTF-8")))
   ;; locale name can be any UTF-8 locale that is supported by  
Allegro CL /and/ libc.
   (your-application))

I used this simple test case:

(load it, and call (cl-user::umlauts)

Due to unexpected interplay between locales in motif and Allegro CL,  
setting excl:*locale* via the -locale command line argument or via  
SETF is not supported at the moment: I'm still working on that.

Again, thanks for your patience. I hope you find the fix works for you.
Regards,
Andreas.
