Hello. Thanks for looking at this. I only use the package for amusement, so it doesn't matter. In any case there is an easy workaround: convert the text file to ISO8859 (eg with iconv) before feeding it into Festival.
I presume the cause is the environment in which the package was created. There seems to be no reported encoding issue with Festival itself. I looked into compiling Festival myself but this required a very old build environment so I did not spend any more time on it after that. Perhaps the build environment could be changed for the next repackaging of it.
