I'd encourage everyone who's had this problem with non-ascii characters to submit bug reports. It is the ambition of most open source projects to be internationalized, but I have the sense that people are still getting up to speed with unicode. I know that, even for my own small projects, I still haven't managed it. So I'm guessing, anyway, that the authors of these projects wouldn't mind a nudge in that direction, and perhaps some help making sure it all works the way it is supposed to work.
