Yes, this makes no sense in KWord itself. You can even MIX charsets already in KWord,
just try it (in the font dialog, you can select a charset to apply to a given selection).
This helps getting better fonts when you're not using AA, and helps printing correctly
in all cases (but this will be solved better by Qt 3).
