As Norwegian and Danish are in as 1252 I suspect strongly that Swedish is
1252 as
well seeing as they all three languages are within spitting distance of
eachother
and use the same characters. Almost certainly you should change Swedish to
1252
in text.c.
Yup, checking back against the original text.c I see the problem, there was
a layout error in my text version of the word spec and I made a mistake from
Slovak downwords and in the fix for that I got Sweden wrong, hopefully they'll
forgive me for sending them into Eastern Europe. It would be a good idea for
someone to double check all the languages against their windows codepage.
