Fixed. Eqn was using the proposed standard functions mbtowc and wctomb for processing multibyte character sequences and wide characters. Unfortunately, those don't work in some places, such as your system and mine. (I am sure they would magically start working with the right environment variable settings, but who has the time?) I dropped in a UTF-8 implementation of those functions and now eqn handles that input as you would expect. Russ
