I think I found a bug in KWord filter, and it's also related to font 
encodings.

Please get this Word document first:
http://freetype.newmail.ru/misc/serbian.doc
which contains a page in Serbian language.
// In fact, I was testing excatly non-Russian Cyrilic languages today, and 
hitted this bug.

Import it into KWord, and you will get this:
http://freetype.newmail.ru/misc/Serbian.kwd
which is *not ok*.

First paragrpah should be:

"Српска усмена књижевност настала је, уз \
наслеђе које је морала донети из  старе \
словенске постојбине, на размеђи источне и \
западне цивилизације, у  сусрету са затеченом \
традицијом на новом тлу, у непосредном додиру \
с наслеђем  антике, а касније, у својеврсној \
одбрани од оријенталних утицаја и у  прожимању \
с њима." (you can read/view this text if your MUA support Unicode, and Unicode \
fonts  are installed)
Note specific Serbian characters "њ", "ђ", "ј" (which is different/not present 
in Russian) - and "њ", "ђ" are missing after import of Word .doc into KWord 
> -(

Than I just pasted text from the web page to KWord
it can be found at web page http://www.rastko.org.yu/isk/isk_11_c.html, 
project Rastko)
Here is *correct* KWord file
http://freetype.newmail.ru/misc/Serbian-pasted.kwd

And same text exported to HTML (works ok):
http://freetype.newmail.ru/misc/Serbian-cp1251.html
http://freetype.newmail.ru/misc/Serbian-UTF8.html

Can someone check what's happening wrong in KWord's Word import filter, and 
fix it for the Release?
