It works fine for me as it is now; I think a lot of people will 
be comfortable with the special characters in latin-1 encoding.
Maybe ( guessing ) it would be possible to easily use Unicode in the gtk client.
To prepare this, adding a field that names the encoding used,
like char default_german_city_names_encoding[8]="latin-1" might be useful one 
day.
