[mythtv] Unicode in OSD

[Tako Schotanus]

Ok, I understand that, I would just have guessed that the default 
settings would allow for the display of most of the common western 
european "special" characters (umlauts and such). In fact I still expect 
this to be the default case and I imagine that is more a case of some 
misconfiguration in my linux setup. Unless somebody confirms that the 
default MythTV setup does not support umlauts and such??
