It is not because nothing changes when you change the local language in Vista from English to Italian that the cause doesn't have something todo with the local settings. For starters English and Italian belong to the same language family. It can also depend on the codepage being used or even the addition of other (incompatible) codepages.
And the influence from the local settings on stuff like this is also very different between XP and Vista (in Vista it doesn't matter as much as it was with XP; all explained in some KB article or on TechNet or MSDN or whatever... cba to look it up now, sorry).
Also, nothing is deleted from the Messenger Plus! dialog; it isn't shown properly (showed too wide, hence the text 'falls off'). Big difference.
It obviously does has something todo with font substituations as the Messenger Plus! dialogs use those MS Shell Dlg fonts. The question is, why is the font substituted with that wide font instead of the normal default font?
The problem isn't that English and Italian are in the same language family. Like Microsoft say, local settings modify automatically all fontsubstitution, also MS Shell Dlg. If I have Windows Vista and Italian as local setting, and nothing happens in MsgPlus, so if the problem depend by it, copying this setting nothing have to happen in MzLalii computer. Instead the problem doesn't depend from local setting
It's evident.
