Yes, you're probably right.

I've "s/iso8859-1/*/g" in the GTK fonts.

Yes, but that won't work. 

Internally gnubg stores texts in UTF-8 (or ISO-8859-1, depending on
GTK+, OS, and other configure options).  Text destined for the terminal
is converted to the terminal charset.

I'm in the process of modifying the HTML expoert code for a more general
solution.
