[PLUTO-help] 'Already in UTF8 mode' message appearing

[Rodolfo Medina]

Hi.

When I log into my system (Mandrake Linux 9.1) as root,
the following message appears:

 	Already in UTF8 mode

, and some latin characters, such as à, è, ù, etc, are not displayed.
Does anybody know how to cancel this UTF8 mode off?

Thanks in advance,
Rodolfo
