askress:
As an ex-Mandraker, I think that you might do better to post your question to 
one of their mailing lists or on their forum. The mailing list subscription 
details are here:

If you don't want to go through the subscribe, post, wait, repost, wait, get 
an answer, unsubscribe bit, you can search their list archives at:

You could also try here:

(Some of the stuff there is available to non-club members.)

FWIW, Mandrake 9.0 is 2 years old -- there have been three versions since 
then, and the release of 10.1 is scheduled for next month, which leads me to 
wonder about the status of utf8 support in 9.0.
