Dunno about UTF-8, but openjade only supports one character repertoire,
and that's Unicode (under character handling in the man page).
According to the docbook reference, a way to specify the dotless i
is ı
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/iso-lat2.html
But it's part of Latin-2, and if your stylesheet declares latin1 as
the only valid characters, then that character is invalid, no matter
how you represent it. I was just surprised, because ı has been
part of docbook since version 3, which is quite some time ago now.
So to me (a more docbook novice) it seems like it's the stylesheet
that's limiting you to latin1, not the docbook parser.
Anyway, the problem has been solved, so we can all get back to testing
the beta now.
Have a nice day,
