I've just tried CVS tuxpaint on the Sarge and Etch systems. I see the behaviour changed. Every time I type a Russian letter, I see a new letter on the screen, but it is not the Russian letter. It is ISO-8859-1 letter corresponding to the first byte of the unicode value. I guess CVS tuxpaint should break ISO-8859-1 (non-ascii) users as well, but I hope it is a step into the right direction :-) -- Regards, Sasha. Alexandra N.
