No, these scripts don't solve my problem.

I do have the fonts installed; I can vim and cat a file containing Chinese.
But the shell (tcsh) or terminal won't accept the multibyte characters. I
can use ^V to enter the characters for "ni3 hao3" and it shows up as
"\247A\246n". I can even touch the file, and when I `ls`, it shows up with
the Chinese characters. It's only when I'm trying to type it at the shell
prompt (and presumably mutt inherits the environment or settings somehow).
Thanks,
Andre
