This is very close, but does not solve all, because Turkish is
not in ISO-8859-1. If we consider our fonts ISO-8859-1, than they
are a bit lame that some Icelandic characters are wrong. It
should be OK until the Icelandic translation ;). 

I can volunteer to work on a better solution covering all
different character sets, after 0.6 release.

For now, how about the following?

  bind_textdomain_codeset(PACKAGE, setlocale (LC_CTYPE, NULL));

This would be more portable for other character sets, and it
seems this version solves my problem as well.

Thanks,
