#2755: Accented letters appear properly in Description, but not elsewhere in
Program Details

     Type:  defect          |      Status:  new    
 Priority:  trivial         |   Milestone:  unknown
Component:  mythtv          |     Version:  0.20   
 Severity:  low             |  
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 This is an issue I've noticed in both 0.19 and currently in 0.20-fixes.
 Here's an example of a Program Details that illustrate the issue:

  '''Description:''' Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dulé Hill) must
 investigate the mysterious death of the "Spellmaster" at the regional
 Spelling Bee.
  '''Actors:''' James Roday, Dulé Hill

 (In case the characters in the Actors: line aren't visible, they are a
 capital A with a tilde and a copyright symbol.)

 As you can see, the same accented character that appears properly in the
 Description: section (and in Recorded Programs and in the OSD) appears
 garbled elsewhere. This occurs with other accented characters, too, like à
 and ñ. And, yes, I am running UTF-8; Fedora Core 6 uses UTF-8
 (en_US.UTF-8, specifically) out of the box, and I saw the same issue with
 Fedora Core 4 even after I made sure used UTF-8 as well. In any case, were
 this a code page-related issue, I'd presumably see garbled characters
 everywhere.
