Exactly. And I do not care much about standard buttons (as long as I can read them) - but I do care about - mixed encodings in file names - mixed encodings in UI (Russian locale - date, time formats, file names *and* German UI with umlauts at the same time) - mixed encodings in documents (Office), auto spelling/grammar in all supported languages - my concern are German/English/Russian - auto encoding selection for outgoing mails in Outlook XP; combine it with really fast wordmail in OXP and spelling correction as above ... -andrej ... and after Gnome update in cooker I get all Russian text displayed in iso-8859-1 fonts that prevents me from using Evolution. Good job done :(
