Yup. The way things are now, you need to choose a unicode/iso-10646
encoded font in order to be able to see characters from more than one
iso-8859 character set. If you have XF86 4.0, then you have such a font.
(I don't have XF86 4.0, so I don't know what it's called. :-)

I *think* the plan is to eventually be able to select multiple GtkHTML
fonts with different encodings to specify how to display different
character sets.

Huh. That's a bug.

You ought to be able to do that just by having non-iso-8859-1 characters
into the message, although it sounds from what you said like that is
also broken. There are a handful of bugs open involving this that will
hopefully get fixed some time between the 0.11 feature freeze and when
0.11 is released.
