The six modified files all had spurious characters introduced apparently
as a result of files with the UTF8 BOM marker, U-FFFE, which is
conventionally used at the start of text files to indicate a UTF-8 file
and is invisible under normal circumstances (e.g. the file is opened as
a text file).

None of these files are recognized by espeak-ng on Linux systems because
the 'language variant' line is seen by espeak-ng as starting with a new
character.

'gustave' is an uncorrupted file, it correctly starts with the BOM in
UTF-8 (three bytes), however even though it is correct espeak-ng does
not read it (this may be a separate bug!)

'marcelo' somehow got the BOM character replaced by a literal '?',
notice that 'git diff' on these changes will, indeed, show the removed
character in 'gustave' as a literal '?'.  Notice also that the character
in question, the BOM, is actually the Unicode 'zero width no-break
space', so it is pretty invisible.

The remaining files seem to have suffered major corruption possible as a
result of dostounix style convertions.  The line endings, normally <lf>
on Unix or <cr><lf> on Windows, had been converted to <cr><lf><lf> and
the BOM had been replaced by a <tab> character.

New voices...

IT: fixes some exceptions.

as phoneme set for both is the same, rename phoneme translation file to in

There are small differences between diphone set of the voices, but they are not used from espeak-ng

There are small differences for diphone sets, but these are not used
from eSpeak NG.

This is a Variant I created called male8, probably one of the smoothest sounding espeak male variants ever. It sounds very good with inflection at 100, which I don't know if you can only change in NVDA or other programs too.

These are some improvements to the german voices, both default and mbrola. It fixes some sounds of phonemes and also pronunciation of words. I also modified the mbrola phoneme and voice files to make them sound more natural. The stressLength setting is that it matches the way espeak deals with the lengths.

Add ar1 mbrola support
Modify ar2 mbrola support
