Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase

I'm a new KDE user so I'm not sure whether this problem is a regression or not. I have noticed that every here and there around the desktop, there are problems showing non-ASCII characters such as ö ä å. At some places it works fine, such as filenames shown in either dolphin or the folder view plasmoid. In other places, it doesn't, such as the taskmanager plasmoid.

Here's a screenshot that shows that shows an example: https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/175461/kde-and-utf-8.png.
The word in the marked area should read "Systeminställningar".

Also, not sure whether this is against kdebase, or some other package.

Forgot to add: This is on an up-to-date Jaunty install.

Is fix committed in the sense that upstream has fixed or kubuntu packages has the fix.

Fix committed is that upstream has made a fix. Once we release the fix to Jaunty (which will include KDE 4.2.2) we will mark it as fix released, which will close the bug.
