Your welcome. I think I've found the problem. The dialog
strings are kept in XML files that state what encoding they
are. The menu labels are in the source code with nothing
to specify their encoding. It looks like they're not being
converted at all. Unix uses ISO-8859-2 so the menus look
fine there. I'm not sure how easy this will be to fix...
** NOTE ** AbiWord list people, don't apply the patch I
attached to my original posting in this thread. I can
see it's incorrect.
Andrew.
