Title:
  Grub2 menu doesn't list entries with foreign characters

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  Description:    Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
  Release:        9.10

  grub-pc:
    Installed: 1.96+20090611-1ubuntu4
    Candidate: 1.96+20090611-1ubuntu4
    Version table:
   *** 1.96+20090611-1ubuntu4 0

          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

    Grub2 menu won't display entries with foreign characters. The entry
  is accounted for and the previous entry is displayed instead.

    I suggest that grub_isprint and grub_isalpha be corrected to include
  accented characters. UTF and multibyte characters will definetely be a
  challenge but ISO8859-* should be feasible.
