   The problem is that some 8 bit chars, most of the ones acceeded

   to: ALT-g and ALT-h

   Has someone else encountered the same problem ?

Did you use xmodmap to make a few keys send 8-bit characters when ALT
and/or SHIFT were pressed?  Otherwise, I don't understand how
ALT-SHIFT-key or ALT-key was supposed to send an 8-bit character.  

In any case, the general problem is that under X11R4, a user can't
type 8-bit characters at X clients unless the X client cooperates with
the user in some application-specific way or the user remaps the
keyboard with xmodmap.  That's why we had to invent a way for users to
type 8-bit characters at idraw.  The way we picked was to turn on the
character's 8th bit if the user was holding down the Meta_L or Meta_R
key.  If you want to type a particular 8-bit character, you have to
find out which key (if any) on your keyboard produces the
corresponding 7-bit character and type that key while holding down the
meta key.  You should be able to use this mechanism to type these
8-bit characters which you couldn't type with ALT-SHIFT-key or
ALT-key.
