Hi Jukka,

If you remember, I've sent the screen captures. I am just interested if this change makes sense and do you plan to embed it in the future versions? 

Like I said, this is just the proof of concept. I didn't make change for label->encoding part, and also, it currently crashes in certain situation if I have a word in label text longer than maxlength. It should all be revised and modified.

Thanks very much

regards, dejan
