emacs and accents

["Andrés Ghigliazza" <tizone@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

I have a problem with emacs and accents. Emacs works perfectly with
accents in a text console, and in graphics mode. However, in a
windowed console (emacs -nw), the accents does not work. Moreover,
executing emacs in a remote host (with ssh), in a windows console,
does not work too, but it works perfectly in the remote host if
executing with a text console.

The same symptoms happens in two Debian Etch computers, one with KDE
and the other with GNOME.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks very much,
