You're right it isn't. I fixed it: I set iocharset=iso8859-1. Thanks.
I had it set to UTF8 so as to not have problems when running slocate
and going through the unicode files under
/usr/share/doc/console-lib-tools, if they give problems I'll just
delete them. 

As far as I can remember it worked well when I installed the previous
version of the portuguese dictionary, and the iocharset option was
already set to utf8. Could it be that now JFS enforces this option
more strictly?

Thanks,
