Balsa 0.9.0 has some problems with reading messages with non-standard
encoding.
I send patch for KOI8 yesterday.
IMHO, some problems can be solved if use gdk_fontset_load instead of
gdk_font_load anythere in the code. Or may be I am wrong?

Oh, yes, it is because gdk_font_load used instead of gdk_fontset_load, I had
same problem with cyrrilic.

Try to change all gdk_font_load to gdk_fontset_load in all source files. It is
a very rough patch and it is not correct in all cases, but may be helps you in
your problem.
