Hi,

The title of the tutorial is translated in the start-up screen. In the
case of Windows XP with a Swedish locale the title is in UTF-8 but the
buffer is in iso-8859-1. So "ä" in "användarhandledning" is shown as "Ã¤".

The buffer is using UTF-8 on GNU/Linux so it's not a problem there.

Kind regards,
Lars Ljung
