Hi freecivers,

I got the following in the Debian tracker, and I've confirmed the
problem.

Thanks,
Jordi

Package: freeciv-client-gtk
Version: 1.14.1-2
Severity: normal

It's refusing to allow Århus as a city name, despite its being a name
suggested by the game.  When I try to build the city, I get ``Jeu : on
ne va pas construire une ville avec un nom aussi stupide.'' (Roughly,
``a city with such a stupid name cannot be built''!).  If I try to
change it after construction, I get ``Århus n'est pas un nom valide''
(``Århus is not a valid name'').  It's clearly not choking on the UTF8
data completely, as it repeated the name back in the error message.
Also, oddly, it was fine with ``København''!  

A little testing shows that it will accept ``århus,'' but it refuses to
accept names where the first character is a capitalized non-ASCII char.

I simply spelled the name Aarhus, but now it's going to get stuck on
Århus and keep suggesting it to me -- not being Danish I suspect I'm
going to run out of good Danish names in a hurry... ;)

(FWIW, I had problems with being unable to use non-ASCII characters in
king names, too -- ``Æþelred,'' for example, was rejected.)
