The module begins with the definition of three strings, each with a different character set. Two of the character sets

are built−in and one is user−defined. The built−in ones represent two different languages, while the user−defined

character set represents both a language and a font style. The characters in the second string are shown in their

decimal form, as we are unable to print the corresponding characters in this book. You could enter the actual

characters directly with a Cyrillic editor, as they are not control characters. We've specified the character sets

explicitly because we are using more than one language and don't want to worry about the setting of the LANG

environment variable.

The font definitions for the text come next. We define three fonts, one for each string. Each font is defined using an

XLFD font name. We combine the fonts in the styles font list definition, which is where we establish the

connection between the character sets used by the strings and the fonts. The character set names in the compound

string definitions must match the character set names used in the font_table. Finally, we define a Label that

displays the concatenated ...
