Description
UTF-8 art: https://mediagoblin.com/u/aleksej/m/utf-8-test-for-the-upgraded-mg-com/
Thumbnail: https://mediagoblin.com/mgoblin_media/media_entries/4f36eaecd1d13f16d40002b3/thumbnail.png
Before the detection fix, thumbnails were generated in the ISO-8859-x encoding even if the encoding was detected correctly.

I think we can close this case now that we have the option to configure the font used for thumbnail generation.

I think this is because of Inconsolata's lack of coverage för unicode characters.
I'm dropping a link to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/586503/complete-monospaced-unicode-font here, I'm considering we switch to DejaVu Sans Mono.
It would probably be a good idea to make the font configurable while we're at it, the colors used to render the ASCII thumbnail should be configurable too.
