Thanks for your report.

This was already reported through other channels and will be fixed in the next release.

In the vera.h file from vera-1.24.tar.gz, there are two formatting issues within close proximity to each other:

1. The 'HVGA' entry has the explanation text [320�480] after it — actually '[320×480]', but the '×' is encoded ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) rather than UTF-8.

   (Most of the other resolution entries in other files use a letter 'x' instead of the '×' — e.g. QHD is "Quarter High Definition [640x360], [960x540] (HD)" which might be preferable if the vera content is still being described as "ASCII". Otherwise, UTF-8 is probably a more compatible choice than ISO-8859-1.)

2. The 'HWE' entry two down is defined "HardWare Enablement [stack]] (Linux, Ubuntu)", with a doubled closing ']' after "stack".

Gentoo have a patch in their packaging system that fixes both of these issues (using UTF-8 for the 640×360 string), but I don't know if they've sent it upstream. I'll attach it to this report.
