I have to say it's a very good idea. One more step to convince Klaus
to UTF-8 :-)

It's probably a good idea to use libfontconfig instead of hardcoding
file names here. This way the system wide installed fonts can be
used and fontconfig will automatically pick the 'best' font for the
job. The fonts you use are not available on most distributions by
default...

Don't the stations tell you which encoding they are broadcasting in?
Are there any channels with non-iso8859-1 encoding on Astra?
