The way I see it (as a coder who hasn't taken a look at either FF or Overbite's sources) is that you're dumping UTF-8 to the screen as is. If the local charset (and font) supports it then it works fine, but if the local charset is ISO-8859-1 then I get the familiar mess that is wide chars on Latin-1.
This is what I get with LC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1 & the latest Overbite (hopefully this gets through properly):
"Test with some weird characters like Å‚Å?€öäüð in the display string"Interesting - now that I tested it again test #2 does work with Overbite... So it's "Fail - OK - OK - OK" with ISO-8859-1 as the local charset.
If I manually change the charset to UTF-8 (View / Character Encoding / Unicode) then Overbite works beautifully even when the local charset is ISO-8859-1.
