strlen, strdup, strcpy all use char. The convention seems to use char
for all (user readable) strings. I don't see added value for 
- casting strings to unsigned char when passing them to libgnomeprint
- casting them to char within libgnomeprint
- casting them to unsigned char when returning them
- casting them to char for further use in the calling function.

We're using UTF-8.
