Hi list,
Just pushed a new branch ("unicode") to github to get utf-8 support in
vitunes. What it does is:
- read id3 tags as utf-8,
- determine if the environment is setup for utf-8 (*see below),
- if it is not, clobber utf-8 strings (like it is done now).
- add an option to force clobbering of utf-8 strings (for teminal
emulators without or with broken utf-8 support).
At the moment id3 tags are clobbered no matter what and are saved that
way in the db.
Ryan, in meta_info.h you mention that tags from some mp3s mess up the
terminal (are you using rxvt?). Can you check with the unicode branch?

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt
is displayed correctly in you terminal, to make sure it's not
the font causing problems. If it's the font causing problems,
try with:
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 xterm -fn
'-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO10646-1'
