strlwr() only handles 7-bit ASCII (a-z). Nearly any format that has
FMT_8_BIT should use enc_strlwr().

Yes, that is best. I will at some point fix the GPU formats so they
handle --encoding properly and thus can have the FMT_UTF8 flag too
(ideally each format's author should do this but I understand most
people think Unicode is black magic - for good reasons :)
