[Devel] encoding problem...

[ODY]

Hi all,

I'm reading in an XML file encoded in UFT-8. It's got German characters in it 
like ö, ä and ü. When I print it out to std::cout it displays the characters 
right, if I pass it through Freetype and display it on a 3D-surface I get 
strange characters on the screen, where the German characters should appear.

I found something about the problem on the web. It looks like the UTF-8 bytes 
are interpreted as ISO-8859-1. That makes an "ä" to an "ä" what appears on 
the screen. I got no idea how to solve this, so any help is appreciated...

Thank you in advance...
