--- Comment #3 from J=C3=B6rg Schilling <schily@schily.net> ---
If you setup a correct locale or use better software, this problem does not
exist.

The files are using the central Europe standard encoding ISO8859-1 that is
using an encoding that is identical to the low 8 bits of UNICODE.

The problem is UTF-8 software with insufficient behavior.

If you e.g use a better pager software (like the pager "p" from the
schilytools), it will correctly display my name. If your pager does not do =
that
correctly, did you consider making a bug report against that pager?

BTW: Similar support could be added to the rendering machines in e.g. xterm.

Another way to deal with your locale rendering problem would be to install =
*.mo
files. If you would help with creating translation files, I would be willin=
g to
add gettext() support to the tools that do not yet have it.
