gnome-terminal can't display utf-8 characters anymore

[Ed Greshko]

FWIW.....

I have recreated you problem by editing my /etc/sysconfig/i18n file to contain

#LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LANG="en_US"
SYSFONT="True"

on my F17 Beta test system.  I then rebooted and I get exactly what you get....

So, I'm confident that'll fix your problem....

Sorry I could not do it earlier.  My test systems were a bit mucked up.....
