Actually my terminal does support UTF-8, at least some times.

Otherwise

[michi@localhost]~$ gpg --charset utf8 --edit 307D56ED

wouldn't display the name correctly.
UTF8 output from GPG is no problem, only the localised UI is.

Please note that the posted output of "gettext --version" had nothing to do
with gpg but only with gettext.

Maybe my terminal fails in giving gettext the needed information. I'll try
to find out more about this in news:de.comp.sys.mac.misc
