 Hi,

 I've almost finished that patch - the remaining task is making various
exporters and importers working (in theory :) with CJK. I don't think I will
need more than 3 hours to complete it. If it will be so, I will upload patch
somewhere and announce it here today (in my timezone). Currently all logic
from HJ's patch is supported if current locale is CJK one, and former logic
(I believe :) is used for non-CJK locales.
 As an added bonus, AW now writes much smaller (5 times for me) .ps by
including only used "styles" of fonts - thanks to modifications by HJ!

 I have a simple question:
 Right now ie_exp_HTML.cpp has the following piece of code:
#if 0
        m_pie->write("<meta http-equiv=\"content-type\""
                        "content=\"text/html;charset=");
        m_pie->write(XAP_EncodingManager::instance->getNativeEncodingName());
        m_pie->write("\"/>\n");
#endif // 0

 I.e. someone commented it out. I guess it's to make HTML importer to
function :)
 Am I right? Did that construct really hurted importer or it's just for sure?
 What exactly the problems were?
 
 I think we (or me) should enable it and make a workaround in importer,
otherwise the only app that will be able to read exported html with
non-latin1 letters will be AW (i.e. browsers excluded :).

 Best regards,
  -Vlad
