What version of debian? What locale are you using? OK, here (debian lenny & locale set to en_US.UTF-8) with: $ iconv -f iso8859-1 -t utf-8 /usr/share/aptitude/README | less $ vim -M /usr/share/aptitude/README $ lynx /usr/share/aptitude/README Variable results with Seamonkey, ELinks, less, more, etc. CJ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
