  Few years ago i asked a similar question, not to do UTF-8 but to 
do Ascii. I was working on a tool for Morrowind after determining 
the strings were not variable in length and instead much like 
ascii fixed at 256 combinations.

  The answer i ended up with was a quick conversion to a UTF in 
order to print it. Seems you might have to convert to Latin-1.

  Here's the old thread.
