Filetype code BUG ?

[Radislav Vrnata]

    [ The following text is in the "windows-1252" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

Yes.
Fedora Core 3, 4 (file ver. 4.10 - 4.16(author latest)) have this bug...
Fedora Core 2 (file ver. 4.07) is O.K.
