Bert Freudenberg updated SQ-309:
--------------------------------

    Fix Version: etoys 4.0 - summer 2009
                     (was: etoys 4.1 - winter 2010)

moving back to this release - we need to do *something*. 
I tested the logic change a few days ago and it worked much better iirc.

> When staring Etoys, it switches to to the host's locale. If that is e.g. Mongolian it uses that. However, on Mac and Windows we do not support non-latin fonts yet, only on Linux. So the user sees almost only question marks instead of text (see screenshot). Not a nice out-of-the-box experience.
> A possible fix is #SQ-283.
