Hello, I'm logging into my linux-server from a windows-client using PuTTY. Everything works fine, except for the umlauts: They are not displayed correctly in any application. Working directly at the server (i.e. on the console), they work without problems! from within PuTTY: user@server$ env [...] LANG=C LC_CTYPE=de_DE TERM=xterm [...] Any hints? tia, Jan. -- "are you punk rock, are you strung out or are you just crazy?" ----> http://experimental.tammen.net
