The only use-case we have found yet is utf8-system and vdr running with latin1. For Gentoo we have this hack in the vdradmin-startskript at the moment: When vdr is not utf8-capable (only when self-patched) then execute this code to switch of utf8-locale: l=$(locale | sed -e 's/\.[uU][tT][fF]\(-\)\?8//' -e 's/^/export /') eval $l Perhaps it would help if epg.vdr would contain information about encoding (even if it is not even read by vdr this could be usefull, but just to inform other programs).
