I don't think this has ever worked. I'll try to look at the problem but the required changes in the code would be nontrivial so I don't promise anything.
Perhaps the simplest solution is to recode(1) into Latin-1...
(In reply to comment #4) > Perhaps the simplest solution is to recode(1) into Latin-1... No. It's not a solution. The goal is NOT to lose the national characters. As for Spanish the recoding should go through ISO-8859-15 (supported by mpage) but there are other languages with other alphabets where mpage fails.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Sorry. I don't think I can fix this.
