Can anyone on Windows check the following bugs for me?
I'm suffering Windows XP (XP == Windows 2000 + even more useless CRUD) today solely for the purpose of doing some Inkscape testing. (Damn thing is forcing me to use Windows Media Player just to play a CD, bloated yuck.)
sourceforge doesn't include a search by ID like bugzilla which is rather annoying so in case anyone else is willing to help here are direct links to the reports.
925033 win32: non-ascii filenames still don't work

I'm hoping Inserting a few unusual characters using 'charmap' will be enough to test this.

I wont be able to test this one.

In generall, the steps to check these are
- run a version of Inkscape that is belived to have the bug
http://cortijodelrio.net/~inkscape/win32/LATEST.zip
When it done downloading I'll test it, the connection is pretty slow unfortunately (estimated time is 1 hour 56 minutes, and it is unlikely that the bottleneck is at this end, and for a change Internet explorer doesn't seem to be lying and sneekily reestimating the download time.) With this kind of download speed there is no way I'll have time to download more than one build.
- try to reproduce the bug
- report if it was reproduceable or not
- once the bug is being reproduced, update to a version of Inkscape that
should have it fixed 5) try to reproduce the bug the same way as worked for step 2 6) report if it is still reproduceable.
If windows XP doesn't drive me mad I'll hopefully have some useful feedback in a few hours.
Sincerely
