Hm, how can I type á and ó? Copy and paste works.

Yes, it does, LANG=de_DE@euro here.

yes.

One problem remains. The --help output of civserver still shows corrupted
chars in lines like
  -G  --Guests          GÀstelogin bei Authentifizierung erlauben.
  -i, --info INFO       ZusÀtzliche Infos fÌr den Metaserver

The output of civclient --help or civclient -- --help is ok, even without
your patch.
