 Hi Lautis,

 Unfortunately I have a reason to complain about support of i18n in
gnome-print :(

 Two points:
1) pdfs generated by gnome-print with russian in them can't be opened by xpdf, 
	gs and acroread. I can supply samples. 

2) It seems there is no way to get string width for utf8 string - function
	gnome_font_get_width_string calls gnome_font_get_width_string_n that
	measures the width of each byte (treating each byte as a character) in
	that string. I had to resort to converting string to wchar_t[] and
	sum the values returned by the following, looping on 'i':

   gnome_font_get_glyph_width(font, gnome_font_lookup_default(font, wcs[i]) );


 Is at least 2) is supposed to be fixed?
