Description of problem:
dialog doesn't display some German letters correctly, e.g.
Umlaut-A ("Latin capital letter A with diaeresis")

My current settings are:
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
TERM=linux
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
LC_xxx=de_DE.UTF-8
keyboard and console in unicode mode
keymap de-latin1-nodeadkeys

I have tried out different terminal types, charsets, locales and so on
- nothing is okay.

Here's in examples for something what's going wrong:
...
$DLG --title "Hauptmenü" --menu "Auswahl" 0 0 0 \
        "1" "AAA" "2" "BBB" 2> $tempfile
...

If I type Umlaute in an inputbox then I only see wrong letters on the
screen, but the returned string (stderr) is correct.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dialog-1.0.20043107-3.i386.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. put some German Umlaute in dialog shell scripts
2. run script
3. have a look at wrong display
4. have a look at correct stderr output
    

Actual Results:  German Umlaute will be displayed wrong

Expected Results:  German Umlaute should be display as the are ( ä ö ü
Ä Ö Ü ß)

Additional info:

I know this problem since FC1 (dialog-0.9b-20031002.1) and it maybe
occur in earlier versions, too.

I use dialog in a shell script that can restore individual files from
a tar archive. My customer is a little bit confused about seeing file
or directory names which are displayed wrong in a checklist:
  [X] /home/user1/profile/Startmen??/Zubeh??r/...
but restored correctly:
  /home/user1/profile/Startmenü/Zubehör/...
