You might want to try Joachim Wilke's patched version of the lcdproc plugin.
Yes, I'm already using that. I believe helped Joachim beta test the patch =) Although I'm not sure that the patch I got from Joachim is exactly same as on his homepage, but I'd suspect so.
It's working marvelously! Although, I noticed that messages in VDR (from external commands, or stuff like "VDR sammuu myöhemmin" transl. "VDR is shutting down later") have ?-marks instead of the scandinavian letters aka. umlauts. But I've been too lazy to report that back to Joachim =)

Is the "?"-mark comming from the conversion in VDR or is it due to the fact, that the LCD cannot display the character in question?

It's coming from the fact that the conversion is not done correctly. My LCD (or the driver) can output at least äöåÄÖÅ, and probably most diacretic characters, too - I believe it can output anything in iso-8859-1(5), and also does so (for channel info, EPG, menus etc...). Only the messages are not translated correctly (but something is done for them, since they are not shown in the usual 2-character garbage that you get when you display UTF-8 assuming it is some 8-bit-for-character set, but instead in ?-marks).
We did quite extensive testing with Joachim (and I did some quite extensive testing, as described earlier in this thread, with my LCD). =)

Have you tried the -jw4 Version from Joachims website? This should fix the ?-issue - it does this at least for me, my display now correctly prompts "Taste drücken..." instead of "Taste dr?cken..." on power off.
Regards.
