Problem with lesstif?

Hello,

I compiled Thot 2.1e from the sources using glibc 2.0.5c and lesstif 0.82.
All ran smoothly, neither the compiler nor the linker had any serious
complaints as far as I could see. The generated executable also seems to
run, but when I open any file (Thotman-E.PIV for instance) the editor
window comes up empty. Again, no error messages, just plain gray
background. The table of contents window comes up too and that one does
not have anything in it either. Simply putting the precompiled binary
instead of the generated one solves the problem, so I think it's not
related to the configuration files, but I could be wrong of course. Is
this a known problem?

And a second issue. I would very much like to see Thot (and also Amaya)
supporting Turkish, that is, displaying Turkish (ISO-8859-9) characters,
printing them and maybe doing hyphenation according to Turkish patterns.
Is there anything I can do for this?

Thanks in advance
