I will.
I just wanted you to know a little further about my problem:
- I use a faxcover template with TGIF-generated postscript including
accentuated chars. They were converted to their decimal iso code (for
example "é" would be "\351") and they appear just fine on my faxes.
- The characters that are distorted in the process are the one I give as
parameters to sendfax
- If I try to give an escape code to sendfax (i.e. "\351"), it escapes
it again in the ps output, (i.e. "\\351"), thus resulting in printing
the "\\351" sequence on my fax

So I guess somehow sendfax knows how to send nationalized-chars, but it
must have them iso-formatted.

Now regarding the patch, it is against 4.1.3, shall I downgrade to this
specific version to apply it?
Again, thanks for your time and your help,
