Hello,
after a long and painful process[1] I found out that the Italian voices
choke badly on UTF-8 characters, and want their input to be latin1.
This was rendering the Festival driver useless, and was very much on the
way for Italians to enjoy a 100% free software audio desktop.
Attached is the patch that sends latin1 data instead of utf-8 when the
Italian voices are used.
Regards,
Enrico
