Michael, Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Check your locale settings and use an UTF-8 locale if possible. So something like en_US.UTF-8 instead of en_US. Depending on your distro you may have to run locale-gen or similar to generate it.

That is the system (Debian) locale or SVN locale? Thx, ... P. -- tel: +1 604 670 0140 Bcc: peter at easthope. ca
