Hello,

I endorse a possibility of having a codepage detection and don't like a fixed
one either, but I really don't see how this detection from the font name will
work. On all Windows PCs I know, "Arial" is named "Arial", for example, and
that's the way the font is stored in the .wri document. Isn't that true for
Eastern European Windows, too?

And even if there are different font names, a default of 1250 isn't
advisable, because my "Arial" (not detected through cp_suf_tbl) is most
certainly 1252.

AFAIK there is no information in the .wri file allowing to decide which
codepage would be right. So the only way to go seems to be to either make
this configurable or to detect it from the underlaying system abiword is
running on. And even this wouldn't allow to open all .wri documents
correctly, so configuration seems to be safest way.

The patch shouldn't be applied (with this detection method).
