I'm asking again about these extended characters with speakup. I'm using UTF-8 character set and every place there would be a normal character to represent something like the boarder of a box in a dialog or the corner of a box or whatever, I'm getting 3 characters for each occurence and they are these ungoddly pronunciations and changing punctuation does not keep them from being spoken. So far, I think the only way I've been able to stop this junk is to change locale.gen to not include utf-8 but when I do that, it breaks a bunch of other things including speech dispatcher. Doesn't anyone else experience these funny characters? I really need to eliminate these as it is making it nearly impossible to use a lot of ncurses apps.
