I stumbled on an interesting phenomenon by a simple $ date In Swedish, Monday needs "aring", i.e., "0xe5" in Latin1, and "0xc3 0xa5" with UTF-8, while Saturday and Sunday need "odiareses", i.e., "0xf6" and "0xc3 0xb6", respecively. Now, in a console with ISO-8859-15, neither vowel is rendered, while with UTF-8, they are rendered, but incorrectly. In fact, all of "aring", "Aring", "adiareses", "Adiareses", "odiareses", and "Odiareses" are rendered identically as a capital A with an acute accent on top, which makes no sense in Swedish. These observations hold on Wheeze, so some fonts are clearly broken there.
