Description:   Opened: 1999-07-30 12:45 
When entering characters using a keyboard layout other than English, and
entering characters that are not part of the default "ANSI" characters encoding
for Windows, the characters are either ignored altogether, or displayed as if
they were "ANSI", that is they are wrong characters.

Specifically, I was using the Slovak keyboard, and entered the following
characters: t, e, s-caron, i-acute, s-caron. It ignored the s-carons.

When I entered p, r, e, c-caron, o, I got: p, r, e, i-grave, o.

I have made a change to correct this by calling iconv in the Win32Keboard file.
This makes it possible to enter a lot of unicode characters when selecting a
non US keyboard layout.
There are still problems with this support and I will investigate more.

Now tested on Windows 98 and Windows 2000. Additional fix in CharWidth on both
Win95/98 and WinNT to get correct width of non Latin1 chars.

this bug was reported as fixed, after some testing, I wrote this:

> In summary: on the slovak keyboard layout, all keys seem to work correctly
> accept "3", "5" and "6" which translate to s-caron, "t'", and z-caron
> respectivley.
> I hope this helps...

to which Henrik Berg (henrik@lansen.se) replied:

Yes it helps, thanks. I can see a pattern, the three chars missing are all in
the 128-159 part of CP1250, the part not compatible with ISO-Latin-EastEurope. I
will debug Abi to see where this goes wrong.
