We have come across some locale issues when trying to use UPP.

On Windows XP, runnning in Japanese locale, we can not compile the Core due to:

1. warnings from msc 8 about wrong codepage for .iml and .t files

2. codepage 1252 strings interpreted as containing newlines by codepage 932, resulting in errors

In particular, IMAGE_SCAN part.

You can change the locale to English to compile, but that is not a solution for us as many of our Japanese apps will then fail. Alas, make clean also cleans Core!

These issues do not occur if you use mingw.

C# Compiler has a /codepage= switch, but vc8 does not.

3. (low severity) NetBSD with LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8

All applications (exmples) with a layout, seems to double the width of all widgets, making the frame double in width beyond my desktop. Can not be Zoomed smaller (in width). Unsetting locale result in normal behavior.
