Using accented characters in d.text.freetype fails for me.
From the first accented character onward, nothing is displayed, i.e
d.text.freetype -n text="Densité de la population" east_north=2,95 size=3 col=black path=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf
displays
Densit
This is on Debian testing, with libfreetype6 2.2.1

There is a bug in the built-in ISO-8859-1 -> UCS-4 decoder, which is
only used if iconv() isn't detected.

Note that d.text.freetype requires iconv in order to use encodings
other than ISO-8859-1.
If your version of d.text.freetype was built to use iconv, then I
don't know what the problem is.
