I believe the newt frontend should be handling UTF-8 characters fairly well now. The new rootskel package will turn on UTF-8 support in the linux console. This is supposed to work on 2.4 kernels. My test displays ���, but I am not sure if it will display characters outside ISO-8859-1. Can anyone test this? I'm not sure which langauge uses non-latin1 charactesr, so I do not know which langauge to choose to test this. We also need to test if it work for asian characters.
The borders are broken. Instead of the nice lines it used to display, it shows other strange characters. No idea why. This might work with the other frontends as well. I haven't tested.
