[DRE-maint] Bug#597652: redmine: In some contexts accented characters don't display correctly

[J.Tóth Gábor]

Hi Jérémy, 

I usually use Opera on WinXP but I occasionally cross-check things on
Iceweasel or Epiphany on Debian.
 
I tried setting the Encoding to UTF-8 (from automatic) but it did not help.

I also tried creating a task with one of these "problem characters" in its
title and descriptor and it showed the same problem.

BTW: I think not remaining the role names may be The Right Thing, as these
names could be customized anyway.
