When adding or editing fields in New Card dialog, international characters are
shown wrong -- zeros, left and right angle brackers, ASCII chars etc. In my
case, it's cyrillic, OS is not localized, just has cyrillic fonts installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Address Book, choose File->New...->Address Book Card.
2. Switch to your local charset (again, my case is cyrillic).
3. Try to type some text.

Actual Results:  
Wrong characters in all text fields.

Expected Results:  
Desired characters.

Temporary workarond: I type desired characters in Notepad and copy them to New
Card dialog.
