Without the patch, only standard ASCII characters are displayed 
correctly. With the patch, characters that are supported by
the Palm OS should be displayed correctly, i.e. anything in ISO-8859-1.
Characters not in this set are rewritten or replaced by Python.

If you your Palm uses a different character set, then apply
the patch and search for the line
  self._outcharsetname = 'ISO-8859-1'
then change the string to the name of your character set.

I don't know whether Palm OS really has this capability, nor
do I know how it supports multibyte characters that it is
supposed to use for e.g. Japanese, therefore this patch at
the moment simply assumes that the Palm uses ISO-8859-1 = latin-1.
