Just noted that the problem has been already reported on
bugzilla@eazel.com. It's ID is: 5456

http://bugzilla.eazel.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5456

However, the font family that is used (helvetica) is a translatable
string. I have translated it to "helveticagr" which has *-iso8859-7,
however it does not work.

Can the "tr" and "ru" maintainers (who verified the problem) tinker
with this? One just needs to "msgufmt" the translation, fix and "msgfmt"
again to test.

Does anyone know of a tool that can show what font is used in the text box
of a specific application, while it is running..?
