Here's a fun thing - when running in a UTF-8 locale, the static menu strings (File, edit, etc) are passed from the menu backend in UTF-8. However, the section names for the navigation menu are given in latin-1.
Is there any general idea about the text encoding used internally? Is everything supposed to be in latin-1? Is everything supposed to be in locale encoding? Are there any plans to reorganise this in the next development series? John
