In fact, if I type an accented char in gnome-terminal, it IS displayed. I
checked the font, and it supports french accents (even euro).
But when I get an error displayed by, say, apt-get, accented characters are
replaced by ? in the output.

I think it doesn't come from gnome-terminal, but a more indepth library...
(just a feeling)
Font for sawfish is fr_FR ISO-8859-15 compliant too... So it should display
ok.

Well, I gess I will do without it, until some magic (or a lucky apt-get
upgrade) makes it work again !! (it used to work on my machine...)

(unless you have another idea !)

Thank you again.
