I am sorry, I am confused with bunch of patches, I am still in progress of rebuilding 
tries... So, I'll report about what I tested.

I installed beta4 from scilab.org and changed DLL to ones you send to me. After that I've 
tested languages. I found that Russian translation is not completely checked in (I'll send 
patch later, after updating translation) and that Russian input works everywhere but 
Russian output fails everywhere. For example, in main console:

-->ss = 'Тест'
  ss  =

  Тест


It is regular wrong displaying Russian-page-UTF8 string as ASCII string. Same result I see 
after executing disp('Тест') from SciPad. It same result as result of command:
$ echo 'Тест' | iconv -f cp1251 -t utf8
Тест

xtitle takes string correctly but during display it uses wrong page of Font, string 'Тест' 
displayed as 'Òåñò'
It is same result as result of command
$ echo 'Тест' | iconv -f utf8 -t cp1251 | iconv -f 8859_1 -t utf8
Òåñò

I still can't build Scilab_f2c.sln with MS Visual Studio Express. So, I may test any 
builds if somebody will upload it somewhere. I can give access to my FTP for easy file 
exchange.
