Item5777: FormattingTests fail if selected charset is not iso-8859-1

The following lines in Render.pm

     # For most common alphabetic-only character encodings (i.e. iso-8859-*),
    # remove non-alpha characters 
    if( !defined($TWiki::cfg{Site}{CharSet}) ||
          $TWiki::cfg{Site}{CharSet} =~ /^iso-?8859-?/i ) {
        $anchorName =~ s/[^$TWiki::regex{mixedAlphaNum}]+/_/g;
    }

ensure that the FormattingTests in the UnitTestContrib fail if you use a non-iso-8859-1 charset.

This impacts other tests as well, which can give misleading failures that take ages to track down.

TWikiFnTestCase should be modified to enforce a setting for the site charset (and turn off locales). These features should be the subject of other tests.

This is no longer the case. At least, FormattingTests pass for me when using utf-8. Closing.
