OK, I've checked in a fix for this. It is a bug in the win32 code related to 
the change from using LANG->LANGUAGE in the putenv() calls in the langstr 
parser.

This fixes Tamil, but Chinese is still broken (on Linux also) because the 
lang_prefixes[NUM_LANG] for Chinese have been changed from zh to zh_cn and 
zh_tw which f*cks up the need_own_font() font loading code (it creates the 
filename of the .ttf font from these prefixes).

On Linux, creating a couple of symbolic links 'zh_cn.ttf' and 'zh_tw.ttf' to 
the single 'zh.ttf' file provides a simple and elegant solution, tragically, 
MS Windows 95/98/ME can't do that :-)

How about:
*try* loading:
'data/fonts/locale/zh_cn.ttf' or 'data/fonts/locale/zh_tw.ttf'
but if that fails, fall back to loading:
'data/fonts/locale/zh.ttf' (by dropping the '_xx')

In fact I'm going to implement that and check it in!

I've prepared installer packages for the ones currently missing:
Hebrew, Hindi, Tamil, Vietnamese.

I'll send them to bill now,
