Title:
  Star Wars screensaver doesn't handle non-ASCII well

Status in xscreensaver:

Status in xscreensaver package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  With my current locale, the date is string looks like this: lör apr 26
  09:56:22 EEST 2008. The 'ö' here is not displayed well in the Star
  Wars screensaver. It looks like a typical case of interpreting UTF-8
  as something else. The starwars command outputs messages like these:

  starwars: font -*-utopia-bold-r-normal-*-*-720-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 does not exist, using -*-times-bold-r-normal-*-180-*
  starwars: unable to load font "-*-utopia-bold-r-normal-*-*-720-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1", using "-*-times-bold-r-normal-*-240-*"

  although I doubt they have anything to do with it.
