    At first glance this seems to be a good idea: Support for
    different number formats would make MathMod more user-friendly and thus
    open it to a wider, international audience.

    Supprisingly MathMod already comes with this feature: The QT library
    supports - by default - different number formats (and various
    other language settings) and as a QT applications MathMod inherits
    all the necessary application libraries.

    Unfortunately there has been a bug in the way MathMod uses QT for
    quite a while now.[1] This bug makes it impossible to use MathMod
    on a machine with a different default
    number format (e.g. German). Only recently I've found a hotfix
    to patch this problem.

    So the point is: Correcting this old bug would also grant MathMod
    with the support of international number formats since all
    the rest is already provided by QT.
