 I suspect it would be the same thing with cvs HEAD.

 I think we don't need the conversion if input encoding is
wxFONTENCODING_DEFAULT. I've just changed it in HEAD, let's see if this
creates any new problems.

 The real problem is that US-ASCII is mapped to wxFONTENCODING_DEFAULT, of
course. If you change the charset to ISO-8859-anything or UTF-8 (both
supersets of US-ASCII) everything should work correctly so this could be a
workaround for now.
