That makes sense:  You have only the fr_FR.UTF-8 locale
installed/generated, not fr_FR@euro (the iso8859-1 version).

With utf-8 settings, I got mis-displayed characters even in man in an
rxvt (in info, too).  In an "xterm (unicode)" window, both man and info
display it correctly.  Err, no.  Lowercase accented letters are
displayed fine, but uppercase as in "DÉFINITION" not:

D��FINITIONS

Since Cut&Paste yields two "boxes", it looks as if it could indeed be a
problem with info's UTF capabilities.  I'll ask upstream.
