My top-required feature of Notepad++ is
1. support of different character sets, for example, cyrillic koi8-r is not supported
2. automatically detection of character sets of source code - it's possibly based on
well-known frequence distribution of each character in a host language. such technology
implemented in some programs, like FAR Windows shell comander.

It's two independent features, but second one meaningless without first one.
But charset autodetection is very simple to implement after first will be done.

Notepad++ has many localized versions, but why it is not support different
character set of that languages?

For example, in Russian language de-facto Windows-1251 codepage is standart
for Windows, KOI8-R on UNIX machines, CP-866 for DOS. KOI8-R is also
often used in inet communications - mail, web etc, since many servers is
UNIX-based.

My work close integrated with programming on UNIX, so NP++ is useless
when I open files from UNIX server.
Furthermore, I tried to set NP++ as default html viewer in the browser, but
non-Windows-1251 pages is misscoded, so NP++ is not my html viewer...
