   Thanks, the problem resolved.
   I think raising more informative error would be great where there
is risk that user accidentally make change to environment and break
something.


 I noticed a couple of problems:
 1) project title in ToolBar corrupts
 2) string of icon of TextMorph in ToolBin and ObjectCatalog corrupts.
       The morph actually dragged from them still corrupts

I think I know the source of them;
Default font of TextMorph is VeraSans that is not for Japanese.
But traditionally we see Japanese string shown correctly even with
such settings because of fallback to "default (Japanese) font".  I
believe we still need such functionality.

   +1
   I am working on installers right now.  Please speak up if you want
to change layout of directories that Etoys runtime expects :-)



BTW, when the initialization (#installFamilyNamed:, etc) will be
executed, building time or changing locale?
