version.txt is in latin-1 (instead of utf-8)

[t4nk]

And maybe all help files. Specifically, "Pietilä":

$ perl -mcharnames -nE '/Timo (.*)/ and do {
    printf "%s\n%vx\n", $1, $1;
    for (split //, $1) {
        printf "%x -> %s\n", ord $_, charnames::viacode(ord $_)
   }
}
' < version.txt
Pietil�,
50.69.65.74.69.6c.e4.2c
50 -> LATIN CAPITAL LETTER P
69 -> LATIN SMALL LETTER I
65 -> LATIN SMALL LETTER E
74 -> LATIN SMALL LETTER T
69 -> LATIN SMALL LETTER I
6c -> LATIN SMALL LETTER L
e4 -> LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS
2c -> COMMA

The byte (aka "char" in some obsolete programming languages ) 0xe4 (DIAERESIS thing) is not valid utf-8; it cannot be displayed with x11, sdl and gcu. It also causes assertion failure in textui2, so please fix

On a linux system something like that

iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf8 help/version.txt >newfilename.txt

would fix it.

After, inspection/checking you can then do a

mv newfilename.txt help/version.txt

Thanks for the problem and the fix - this is kind of the ideal model for a bugfix thread
