:-) At least for Cyrillic it _is_ true... It's a great difference
in the complexity of support in any piece of software between
_European_ languages (to which Cyrillic belongs) and multi-byte
East Asian languages - Japanese, Chinese, Korean,
so it may be very well be that things fixed for a European language
are still not Ok for East Asian one.

Internet Explorer's Title issue in this thread is a good example -
no problem for Cyrillic since Windows 2000.

Right, it's author (Russian programmer) gave a good screen-shot that
I copied to my Outlook Express instruction page:
