i'm in the process of applying this patch (sorry for the delay)
and i'm wondering what's happening here. the essence of
the patch is the following in the unix keypress event handler:

> e->keyval=(e->keyval)-256;
to me, this looks like it would map any latin-2 chars onto
latin-1 -- the hardway. if we are doing unicode internally,
this just doesn't seem right.
is it the case that you have a Latin-2 font that is similarly
folded ??
If you look at the .abw document in emacs or vi, does the
text (between the xml markup) look correct??
could you send me you keyboard mapping, so that i can
see what you're seeing ?
xmodmap -pke
thanks
jeff
ps. i'm applying the Czech menu strings that you sent,
but i'll need the other set of strings (see abi/user/wp/string/*.strings)
before everything will look right -- thanks.
