[Typo3-dev] Hello, ...

Hello masi,

	Thx for reply. I try all the way I can think of - even use different 
unicode and big5 fonts. I do try all the combinations in BE and FE. Big5 
- UTF-8, Big5 - Big5 etc. The only thing I am sure is that once I set 
the forcecharset=big5/utf8, the graphic menu goes cracy. This is not 
only happen in 3.7.0 but 3.6.2 as well.
