With a new machine, I finally hopped on the UTF-8 bandwaggon. My locale is now en_GB.UTF-8 all the way, and I am using urxvt, which all works nicely. I have never received replies to http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/06/msg01185.html which is okay, since the problem seems to have vanished somehow. But there remain subtle problems here and there... For instance, I have the following line in my settings, to allow me to abbreviate the common German letter ending: iab mfg Mit freundlichen Grüßen inserting works fine after I converted the settings file to UTF-8 (before it wasn't working), but when I X-copy that line to elsewhere, I get weird behaviour. If I copy it from vim to the console, this is the result: iab mfg Mit freundlichen GrüÃ^ßen catting the file works fine though.
