Hello everybody, happy New Year etc.

Two little problems:
1) international font support
2) vi mode

I've been using abiword sporadically for some time now, but I cannot solve
the problems I have encountered. This definitely very fine program has a
limited support for other character sets, e.g. central european
(iso-8859-2). I could partially solve the problem by substituting some
fonts in the Abiword fonts directiory (is there any particular reason why
Abiword uses its own font directory??), but I cannot get them to print
or export correctly -- which basically renders my abiword installation
useless.

Second problem -- I was really eager to use the vi mode, what with vi being
my favorit editor and all. How can one do it???
