gnome-terminal
in xterm it seems to work somehow

but what about emacs?

the whole unicode stuff seems to work well in distributions my colleagues
use around here (mainly Suse and Mandrake) 
I seem to be the only one having troule to correctly set up UTF-8 as
default character coding system.

this is especially annoying in joint document preparation in latex
using svn for syncronizing. I am the one who allways sees garbage on his
screen :-(

greets and thanks
