The wordlists are in UTF-8. Those files which are in the scowl binary package are not, but that's because that's how upstream distributes them. It makes sense for them to also be in UTF-8, but I'm loathe to change them without fully understanding the use cases of people who have scowl installed, and whose usage might be broken by a sudden switch from ISO8859-1 to UTF-8. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com I have no use for "before and after" pictures.
