What is your locale? try the command 'locale'. That might help. If you save the file to disk and view it using a pager or something similar, do you get the same problem in a terminal? If you can isolate an offending character, and pipe it through hexdump/hd, what value is it? If you have more than one locale built (locale -a); try using one of the others and see if that changes the problem: $ LANG="fr_FR" cat offending-file $ LANG="fr_FR" sensible-browser http://offending-url etc. -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
