Hi,

As promised earlier, I have published workaround files for the charset menu
display problem. This is a temporary measure and hopefully in the near future we
will have a customizable charset menu. In addition to creating 6 groups for the
charsets, I have also normalized the charset UI names to the ones we will be
using for the final version. This should work (i.e. all items should be usable)
on Unix clients on a 15-inch screnn monitor. The explanation is documented here
with links to necessary files.
