Actually, the problem is that those applications are not UTF-8 compatible or UTF-8 aware. Red Hat didn't break them. Red Hat defaults to using UTF-8, but if you use applications which are not UTF-8 compatible, you need to change the locale these apps run in to an 8bit latin locale or some other locale the particular application does support. -- Mike A.
