Hi,
Abiword does work with other encodings... on Unix. What you'll see is that
there is a Unix class based on the XAP_EncodingManager (named
XAP_UnixEncodingManager) which will autodetect locales and such. So these
virtual methods get overridden and return correct non-default values, at
least on Unix builds. Win32 and others need to implement a version of this
class that make sense for them.
