The problem is that you never know what thing will be
produced by MS word. I attached a .rtf file produced by word 2k
under win2k English version with Chinese locale installed.
Don't be amazed it set both \deflang1033 and \deflangfe1033.
That file makes abiword crash on importing. It also demostrates that
only \ansicpg will not be enough.
