Re: UTF-8 on stdout?

Quick question: does anyone know how to print UTF-8 correctly
on stdout? Specifically, the problem I'm having is correcting a
bug in --credits where the UTF-8 encoding of some accents is
not displaying correctly (e.g. Chepelov). See apx. line 328 of
app_procs.c to see what I mean, or just run dia --credits. I
want to retain this UTF-8 encoding because the same data is
also used in the about box etc.

I think there should be two command line switches: --credits and
--credits-utf8. The first outputs in whatever charset the locale
suggests while the second is used to generate AUTHORS.

Just my two EUR-cents. Tino.
