Where are you setting LANG?  I've got it set (to (en_AU.UTF-8)
in my .profile (and exported), but it is set to C by the time
a terminal window starts up.  I used to have all of this
working, but I'm afraid that I've blown away all of my useful
configuration while trying to get epiphany to behave.

I can confirm that manually running "env LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
epiphany" at a terminal prompt results in a happy browser.  Yay!
Bit of a harsh failure mode, though...

Cheers,
