So everything should be fine, but it doesn't work. UTF-8 encoded id3
Tags are correctly displayed, latin1 encoded are missing the german
umlauts :-(
But I found a workaround that even works with the Debian version of
xmms (1.2.10-1.4): I disabled fontsets and set the fond back to
iso8859, now I can see german umlauts in latin1 encoded id3tags even
if xmms is started in utf-8 locale. This is not perfect, but I do not
need to look for a new player :-)
