It sounds like your terminal emulator is running with LANG=C and your shell is running with LANG=xx_XX.utf-8 or some other similar locale mixup. i.e. The ââ characters are utf-8 codes for the line drawing symbols interpreted as plain ASCII. Try this to see it happening: LANG=C xterm -e "LANG=en_US.utf-8 pstree; read" To fix this, make sure that LANG is set the same for both shell and terminal. -- CJ van den Berg mailto:cj@vdbonline.com xmpp:cj@vdbonline.com
