Description of Problem: 
Non-ASCII characters are printed as question marks on the console with 
'mint' (but not with 'mono'). 
 
 
Steps to reproduce the problem: 
Install mono-0.28. 
$ export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 
$ export LC_COLLATE=POSIX 
$ env | grep '^\(LANG\|LC_\)' 
LC_COLLATE=POSIX 
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 
$ cat > hello.cs <<\EOF 
using System; 
class Hello { 
  static void Main() { 
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = 
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = 
      new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE"); 
    Console.WriteLine("Hall\u00f6chen"); 
  } 
} 
EOF 
$ mcs hello.cs -o hello.mono.exe 
$ mint hello.mono.exe 
 
 
Actual Results: 
$ mint hello.mono.exe 
Hall?chen 
 
 
Expected Results: 
$ mint hello.mono.exe 
Hallöchen 
 
 
How often does this happen?  
Reproducible. 
 
Additional Information: 
 
Results on Windows (.NET CLR 1.0.3705): 
>hello.mono.exe 
Hallöchen [in CP437 or CP850 encoding] 
 
Possible reason: mint does not perform a setlocale(LC_ALL,"") call.

You were right. setlocale call was missing.
It's fixed in CVS. Thanks.
