Looks like problem still exists.
In short: when I do report export in HTML, in resulting file I see UTF-8
encoding in header (in meta) and entities like Û. AFAIK such entities
must be UNICODE symbols, but they are just KOI8-R codes for cyrillic. So my
though: they wasn't converted to UTF-8, just putted as is.

Also AFAICS all report system is done with guile. I'm not familiar with
Scheme unfortunately (and gtkhtml too), so can't investigate problem more
closely. So I'm asking for help - may be you can point me in right direction
- where converting should be done and why it doesn't working? :)
