   We're trying to find, what could be wrong in GoldEd using ncurses. And it   
   reproduces, so probably we'll find some solution.

   I know. But there are many other problems, not just displaying unicode   
   symbols, but also splitting long paragraphs of non-english letters. They may   
   be 2-4 bytes long in UTF-8 and It will be weird in reader window.
