Non ascii or unicode in db/*.ini files

Flair

With the source distribution of flair 3.1 there appears to be non-unicode and/or ascii characters in the db/fluka.ini files.

Hi Sboogert

there are a few unicode characters, but the system should recognise them. Do you have set the local somehow not to accept unicode?
Could you try the following command
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 flair
Otherwise try to replace the fluka.ini with this onefluka.txt (250.1 KB)
