Huh?

The stroke-font used by gltext comes only has ASCII characters.
The font comes from GLUT; I believe that is the only such font
available.

That displays "05/08/2005" on my system (and presumably "08/05/2005" on
others).  Displaying months as numbers is dumb and often ambiguous.
That's why the default is to display months at words instead.

There is, as far as I know, no way to ever configure one's locale to
display month names instead of month numbers for %x.  That makes %x a
bad choice.
