Ehmmmm... UTF-8 is supposed to display Norwegian letters! As well as all
other Latin letters, Cyrillic script, Runes, Ogham script, Perl script
(OK, so I made up that last one - it doesn't actually display perl
directly, it must be transliterated using Latin letters...;-)! So you seem
to have gotten something else veeeery wrong here.

What about using YAST to configure your SUSE system? Or just install it
from scratch using default settings?;-)

P.S. It's "æ, ø, å" - "å, æ, ø" is Swedish (of MySQL fame).
