when i zless /etc/console-tools/default.kmap.gz
and scroll to the 'compose' area at the bottom, i see [snip] string Pause = "\033[P" compose '`' 'A' to 'À' compose '`' 'a' to 'à' compose '\'' 'A' to 'Á' compose '\'' 'a' to 'á' [snip] On my KRXVT session (i.e. from within X windows) those display as oriental (chinese? japanese? korean?) glyphs, using two characters for the display. Does this mean i've got unicode turned on? On the other hand, in CONSOLE sessions (ctl-alt-f2 for example) those same characters (from the same exact file) display instead as greek characters. (Using mutt, i postponed this message and brought it up again in console, and then again in krxvt, just to be sure.) If they look different on your dislpay, i'd love to know what settings you've got that differ from mine... (Console-tools has facilities to munge consoles, but there's apparently some setting for xterm/rxvt sessions, too...) What's the voodoo required to specify latin-type charsets, to make those appear as accented roman letters? (For both console displays and X terminal emulators...) i.e. "R which FM?" -- americans should never read anything so subversive as what's at http://www.salon.com/people/col/pagl/2001/03/21/spring/index1.html [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sourceforge.net/projects/newbiedoc -- we need your brain! http://www.dontUthink.com/ -- your brain needs us!
