Hi
I read in old messages of Zebra list (msg from Henri Damien Laurent and 
other Koha dev), whose general thrust was that Zebra built-in facets 
were not working well for strings with diacritics, or maybe with ICU.
https://www.google.fr/search?q=facets+zebra+icu+site:lists.indexdata.dk&client=firefox-a&hs=9nq&rls=org.mozilla:fr:official&channel=fflb
Is it still true?
I don't see any improvement about facets in Zebra changelog 
(http://www.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/NEWS), except "Facets can now be 
performed on sort registers (:s), not just regular indexes (:w, :p) 
etc.." (2008).
Did you consider working with Indexdata on that issue?

Mathieu
