    As I mentioned later, I tried both or more combinations with folder
    names and LANG env. but AW is still blind on ISO-8859-2 fonts.

    There must be other configuration tips, I do not want to believe the AW
    does not like central-european fonts encoding :-))

    But what are thoes Tips?
