 In Windows Vista, trying to type in Hebrew (UTF8) anywhere in the
 winpidgin UI results in box characters (with the Unicode value in the
 box).
 This includes the status entry box, all entry boxes in the preferences, as
 well as the message entry in conversation windows. Changing the font face
 of the outgoing font in a conversation to one that supports Hebrew does
 fix this, but only for the specific text formatted in the font.

 I suspect that this has to do with the Segoe UI font in windows, which
 does not have Hebrew built in (Vista uses the Gisha font for Hebrew in the
 interface, instead). So somewhere along the line, GTK isn't using the
 fonts specified by the OS for non-Latin text.
