Hi,

Short story: using -u option in a utf-8 terminal doesn't work.

Using it alone in a latin1 terminal doesn't work either, one has to set
-uiso.

This is a bit sad with nowadays standards :)

Untex should rather call
setlocale(LC_ALL,"")
and then use the usual localized functions for printing characters:

printf("%lc",L'ΓΌ');
and remember to add -finput-charset=latin1 or -finput-charset=utf-8
according to your source charset.

or simply
printf("%lc",L'\u00FC');
(but this is more cryptic :) )

If the user really wants ibm charset, well he can just compile a locale
for this...
