Sorry, my last email wasn't exactly clear. I know a little more about
the problem then what was posted on the email list. I believe the issue
comes from reading the home directory from getenv() method calls which
return char *. What is encoded in the char * might be interesting to
hear about. Does winderz return UTF-8 or upper-ascii single-byte for
the accented e?

I believe anything above 127 is re-routed to multi-byte for UTF-8. Only
lower ascii is preserved as single-byte

These particular accented vowels are part of ANSI, so the reference to

é = ANSI 233
ó = ANSI 243
Does Windows even allow usernames to include UTF8 characters way
beyond ANSI
255 ?
If so, then is Xiphos 3.0.1 going to be fully compliant with UTF8
usernames
for Windows, or just the rest of the ANSI set beyond lowercase z (ANSI
122)
?

I've done the bug report in the way you ask. Thanks. This one is
eminiently repeatable.
We'll be taking a look, thanx.
To my personal horror, Rubén Gómez of Bible Software Review learned of
our release -- I had given him a heads-up about 10 days ago -- and found
it completely failing when he ran it. It turns out that his Windows
username, rubén, causes grief because of the UTF8 content, the accented
'e'. Matthew nailed down the problem and consequently we will be
releasing a quickly patched 3.0.1 Real Soon Now.
Around last August, I had some long email correspondence with Rubén
about (then-)GnomeSword and related matters and we had some difficulty
with the installation process because in Linux he's a Ubuntu user. I
had hoped ever so much for a perfect introduction, but alas he managed
to be literally our sole failure case.
We're hoping for better experiences as soon as 3.0.1 is done.
