I've rediffed the patch against 1.3.25 some time ago. Apparently it
still applies to 1.3.27. I didn't check whether it actually works
though. You can find it here: http://www.suse.de/~lnussel/vdr/
(May take some time until the web server gets synced).

It's also in the vdr13 rpm packages on the ftp server. You have to
rebuild the src.rpm using --with freetype to enable it though.

The changes required for true UTF-8 support are not trivial. The
patch from Alexander is just a start. Something for post-1.4 IMHO.
