I could not find any I'm pretty sure it is (UTF friendly), as it perfectly handles japanese, russian, greek (and Arabic, at least when it comes to UTF-8 encoded characters) stuff. The newt package is maintained by Alastair. So, as he is currently away or less active, a NMU may be proposed by the debian-boot team, if needed. > 2. is libtextwrap UTF-8 friendly ?

If Alastair has a CVS for newt, it may be on alioth.... IMHO, you should first "apt-get source newt", hack it down as you need, then propose a patch. I may help in testing it by manually building ISO images with it along with complete Arabic translations. I finally managed to be able to build hand-crafted ISO images.
