There are problems with string formatting when using non 1 byte fonts.
i. E.

print "%-40s\n" % name

where name contains german umlauts.

It is broken when german umlauts are utf8-coded (2 bytes). This was true 
at least with 1.8.2. I went back to an 8 bit locale for this reason.

Will this work with 1.8.4 and utf8 locale?
