dired can't display UTF-8 characters in monthname

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

When I dired a directory with files from March I see something like 
this:

  -rw-r--r--    1 pete  pete    2688  7 Mär 16:19 slh-inst.log

ls correctly displays:

  -rw-r--r--  1 pete  pete   46251  7 Mär 16:19 slh-inst.log

C-u C-x = on the defective monthname reveals:

  character: M (0115, 77, 0x4d, U+004D)
    charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
 code point: 77
     syntax: w  which means: word
   category: a:ASCII   l:Latin
buffer code: 0x4D
  file code: 0x4D (encoded by coding system mule-utf-8)
    display: by this font (glyph code)
     
-B&H-LucidaTypewriter-Medium-R-Normal-Sans-10-100-75-75-M-60-ISO8859-1 
(0x4D)

  character: Ã (0303, 195, 0xc3)
    charset: eight-bit-graphic (8-bit graphic char (0xA0..0xFF))
 code point: 195
     syntax:    which means: whitespace
buffer code: 0xC3
  file code:  (encoded by coding system mule-utf-8)
    display: by display table entry [?Ã] (see below)

The display table entry is displayed by these fonts (glyph codes):
Ã: 
-B&H-LucidaTypewriter-Medium-R-Normal-Sans-10-100-75-75-M-60-ISO8859-1 
(0xC3)

  character: ¤ (0244, 164, 0xa4)
    charset: eight-bit-graphic (8-bit graphic char (0xA0..0xFF))
 code point: 164
     syntax:    which means: whitespace
buffer code: 0xA4
  file code: 0xA4 (encoded by coding system mule-utf-8)
    display: by display table entry [?¤] (see below)

The display table entry is displayed by these fonts (glyph codes):
¤: 
-B&H-LucidaTypewriter-Medium-R-Normal-Sans-10-100-75-75-M-60-ISO8859-1 
(0xA4)

  character: r (0162, 114, 0x72, U+0072)
    charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
 code point: 114
     syntax: w  which means: word
   category: a:ASCII   l:Latin
buffer code: 0x72

-B&H-LucidaTypewriter-Medium-R-Normal-Sans-10-100-75-75-M-60-ISO8859-1 
(0x72)

ls delivers for M and r the same as dired does, the ä is:

  character: ä (04344, 2276, 0x8e4, U+00E4)
    charset: latin-iso8859-1 (Right-Hand Part of Latin Alphabet 1 
(ISO/IEC 8859-1): ISO-IR-100.)
 code point: 100
