Yes! Woohoo! You da man!
I checked my /etc/inputrc file and bingo, there was a
setterm -blength 0 line in there that caused the s
to disappear. Commenting that line out solved the whole
problem. Now it's back to finding out how i can specify
the exact font that i see when looking at xfontsel.
Anyway, it's strange that such an error in the inputrc file
can have such an effect!
Thanks a million John!
