But this can't be right, Ruslan. IMHO, I must be able to set a 
language of a field even if I do not have apropriate script (my 
client does or I have it on another computer). The content should 
display in ascii if I decide to view it without the proper script, 
but the language setting should stick.

If the language does not stick, what happens if I have greek script 
and create a greek field, then I pass the db to a client who opens it 
on a computer without greek script, realizes the mistake, then copies 
to another computer. Will it then show in greek or did opening it on 
a computer without greek removed the language setting and the 
database is so-do-speak damaged?
