What means "wrong charset"?
Qt does not know which charset encoding we want.

The bstgreek and bsthebrew files use 8859-0(not sure this is the correct 
name, xfontsel says encoding 0).
Why will the text not display correctly? The text in the display window uses 
even another font. Why does qt not use the bstgreek font with the 8859-0 
encoding?
We don't even need fonts with the 8859-7 encoding since the encoding of the 
modules is 8859-0 or 8859-1.
