Since when KOI8-R locale has anything to do with iso8859-1 charset? The existence of definitions in locale and possibility to use iso8859-1 fonts (and strings with that charset) doesn't mean that there is a string that is supposed to have both charsets in them, this is where i18n standards are still severely lacking (and this is how Unicode sneaks in where it doesn't belong). -- Alex -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
