when i

	zless /etc/console-tools/default.kmap.gz

and scroll to the 'compose' area at the bottom, i see

	[snip]
	string Pause = "\033[P"
	compose '`' 'A' to 'À'
	compose '`' 'a' to 'à'
	compose '\'' 'A' to 'Á'
	compose '\'' 'a' to 'á'
	[snip]

On my KRXVT session (from within X windows) those display as
oriental (chinese? japanese? korean?) glyphs, using two
characters for the display.  Does this mean i've got unicode
turned on?

In CONSOLE sessions (ctl-alt-f2 for example) they display instead
as greek characters. (Using mutt, i postponed this message and
brought it up again in console, and then again in krxvt, just to
be sure.)

If they look different on your dislpay, i'd love to know what
settings you've got that differ from mine... (Console-tools has
facilities to munge consoles, but there's apparently some setting
for xterm/rxvt sessions, too...)

What's the voodoo required to specify latin-type charsets, to
make those appear as accented roman letters? (For both console
displays and X terminal emulators...) i.e. "R which FM?"
