Ouch. How do you spell Jaakko Järvi in plain ASCII?
I know some languages can use 'ae' to stand for ä, but this may not be valid for all other languages, so this non-ASCII character issue seems a little puzzle to solve, to me.
Let's ask iconv for a transliteration: echo "Jaakko Järvi" | iconv -t ascii//TRANSLIT Jaakko Jaervi It seems to prefer "ae" even in fi_FI locale ... Jens
