Hungarian langpack installer screen

Mac OS X 10.4.11, LibreOffice 3.5 RC3 from http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

Langpack installers display dialogs with corrupted characters, i.e., instead UTF-8 encoding, they use a legacy encoding.

I can not reproduce this, neither with the Hungarian nor with the simplified Chinese langpack installer for LibreOffice 3.5.5 for MacOS X/PPC. (I'm on MacOS X 10.6.8 -- Intel, of course, but the PPC langpack installers nevertheless run.)

Is it possible that this bug has been fixed in between?

@Andreas: Could you please check with the latest version?

I don't have access to Mac OS X PPC any more. In fact a friend of mine reported this bug originally, and her Mac G4 is buried deep somewhere in her basement. TDF regularly produces builds for this platform, that's why Cloph and Fridrich are on CC. If nobody cares about this platform that is slowly dying out, then we can close this bug. I know that it is not reproducible on recent Mac OS X versions on Intel platform.

Deprecated Mac / PPC as a platform, raising our base-line to 10.6.
