Well, it is common sense to use iconv to produce output for every
locale. Non-UTF-8 systems are not that uncommon.
And UTF-8 is introducing new problems that you do not have with latin
charset as there are byte combinations that drives your system cracy if
it is set to UTF-8.
So, no, UTF-8 is no solution for all problems. And just the fact that
"it works" doesn't mean that it works good.
But I cannot force you to solve the bug. But I think, it would be sad if
you ignore the fact that there are other encodings around.

Klaus
