Let me share with you what I had initially done to solve the problem. If you put this in your .bash_profile you should take care of most of the issues with boxes and such: LC_CTYPE=en_US.iso-8859-1 export LC_CTYPE This will change the relevant setting in your terminal to iso-8859-1 and that will mean no ugly boxes in mrxvt. Unfortunately, you will also not have unicode in the unicode supported terminals, such as rxvt-unicode. If you need to be able to open such a terminal you would have to intentionally export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (I think that is the correct one) either in that terminal or in the command to open it. But, if you basically use only mrxvt, as I did, then this should take care of it. Hope this helps, Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
