text is displayed improperly for non-english languages

[Juan Montoya]

On setup, a window shows a licence a prompts for the root password.
The text there looks bad for non-ascii characters. Typical of windows encoding displayed as utf-8.
See the screenshot for more details.

This didn't happen on previous versions of Ubuntu, nor in other distros.

This is not a problem with the mysql-5.1 package, but with the debconf GUI frontend I think. Redirecting as such.
