If you're making a Windows installer for your project, you'll probably be
shipping the Gtkmm binaries as well. In that case, you just have to provide a
new enough Gtkmm that has Gtk::Builder, and not need to worry about libglade(mm).

Yeah I'm Asian, but I consider myself to be a native English speaker since I
can't speak or understand my "native" tongue. If I'm not mistaken, Gtk+ and
Gtkmm use UTF-8 internally for everything, so there shouldn't be anything extra
that needs to be done for display or handling of foreign characters as long as
you use Glib::ustring.

I haven't actually tried building Pango/Fontconfig manually before, but I don't
recall ever having seen anything specific that had to be done for support of
foreign characters. Are you perhaps missing a couple of fonts?
