Subject: Some language problems in AbiWord

Hi!

I am experimenting with abiword 0.99.3 and its spell checking.
I use hu_HU locale. Congratulations to all who made all this possible!

However, I found some problems:

1. Abiword defaults to the locale it finds in the environment variables,
    that's good. But when I copy and paste a string, it loses its
language setting.
    The newly pasted text is underlined and its language is set to en_US.
    (Or to the C locale?) Anyway, when I look at the language setting,
    it says "English (American)"

2. I attached a small file to show my other problem with fonts.
 Maybe you should start abiword as "LANG=hu_HU abiword"
 to be able to see this, I don't know. But the fonts on the screen
 are not always the same as in print or in print-preview.
 I mean the special Hungarian chars with "double comma" accents.
 On the screen, in editing I get oOuU with "hat" instead of the
 "double comma". In print preview I get them correctly.
 I saw <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?> in the
 first line of the attached file. Maybe this encoding should be applied
 when asking fonts from the X-server... But that is only a minor
annoyance.

Best regards,
Zoltán Böszörményi
