Re: 8-bit characters

[will trillich <will@serensoft.com>]

PROBLEM: 8-bit characters (such as those in 'man latin1') show as
chinese in krxvt, and as pseudo-greek on console (alt-ctl-f1).

SOLVED -- yippee!

CONSOLE: consolechars -f <pickafont>

	where <pickafont> is any item mentioned (sans '.psf.gz' extension)
	in the /usr/share/consolefonts/ directory -- e.g.:

	consolechars -f lat1-16

KRXVT: use rxvt instead (!)

	krxvt is rxvt with support for chinese characters (man
	krxvt)! rxvt is latin-chars only, i gather.

all is right with the world.
