Subject: Character set for plain text files

I thought AbiWord was supposed to work with encodings
and locales other than ISO 8859-1 English but this
seems not to be the case at least for plain text files.
In xap_EncodingManager.cpp I find this:
const char* XAP_EncodingManager::getNativeEncodingName() const
{
return "ISO-8859-1"; /* this will definitely work*/
}
const char* XAP_EncodingManager::getLanguageISOName() const
{
return "en";
};
So even after my Locale info is loaded by the prefs system all .txt
files are loaded as ISO 8859-1.
What's the proper way to fix this?
Andrew.
