You need to update wml. There is a newer version in stable (or stable-updates)
that fixes that problem.

I believe so. You don't need to worry about it though. Since Dutch uses
iso-8859-1 and I finally upgraded to gimp1.1, I have created the images
for you. If you are unhappy with the text in any of the images, just
send me what you want and I'll create new ones. It's trivial once
everything is set up (thanks Craig).

Hope this helps.
