It doesn't.  The distiller tries to detect and communicate the encodings
of particular parts, but given the abysmal PalmOS support for charsets
and the non-existent Python 1.5.2 support, we can't do much with it.

If we move to Python 2.x, we can manage the charsets, but what to do
about the poor PalmOS support for them?
