(Get the code!)
It seems to me that the rest of KiCAD ***IS*** UTF-8 compliant on Linux, though. I think it should be left up to the users to decide whether they want to use UTF-8 or not; the program should not make that decision for them and could pop a warning that the non-ASCII characters may be problematic.
Fortunately, KiCAD is open source. I can get into the source code and remove that if block of C++ code. The down side is that I cannot just install KiCAD from the Ubuntu ppa's and will have to compile it from source.
