Description oopojo 2010-05-30 17:11:22 UTC

The fortune database seems to be encoded in ISO-8859-1, which breaks german umlauts. iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-1 --to-code=UTF-8 fixed it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run fortune at.linux or open /usr/share/fortune/at.linux with a text editor.
2. See lots of � � �
3. Try to fix your Unicode setup for a while and then realize that it's not your fault.

Actual Results:  
Broken non-ASCII characters.

Expected Results:  
Intact non-ASCII characters.
