There are still some probs due to the system wide usage of uft8. One of
them is addressed in bug 107834 regarding characters above ascii 128 in
Filenames (e.g. samba shares with windows clients).

Similar problems arise, if you use evolution to exchange mail with a
windows user and even with a linux guy not using Red Hat. Characters
above ascii 128 look "silly" and are unreadable.

Of course, you can change the system default in /etc/sysconfig/i18n to
use another locale. This solves some problems but rises others.
Localised output of some local programs get unreadable and/or look quit
ugly.

@Redhat: are there concrete planings to address these issues which
existent since introduction of utf8 as a system default?
