Summary: Impossible to get Win32 default font encoding in widgets

Details: I did not managed to obtain correct font encoding in widgets on Win32 (NT Workstation, Polish version, default encoding cp1250). All cp1250 Polish characters were displayed incorrectly. I think, all characters that do not belong to Latin-1 will be displayed incorrectly. Regarding Python1.6b1, I checked the Tcl/Tk installation (8.3.2). The pure Tcl/Tk programs DO display characters in cp1250 correctly.
As far as I know, the Tcl interpreter woks with UTF-8 encoded strings. Does Python1.6b1 really know about it?
