Thanks. I eventually got this working with that link and another really useful one on X fonts: http://www.klauser.ch/lxug/ch13.pdf I did install xfonts-efont-unicode but in the end didn't need it. Instead, I set the default xterm font to this: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1 which is in the 7x14.pcf.gz file from xfonts-base. It passes the UTF tests I've tried so far. I'm not sure how this is different from the efont version, namely: -efont-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1 other than a slightly different ptSz. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
