So could anyone enlighten me about what is going on? I don't know why you expect help from this list after exhibiting the attitude you did in Message-ID: <[🔎] 20030119123015.GA5750@zombie.inka.de>. I suggest you take your query upstream. Or maybe Lindows or Knoppix has solved this problem, by not having any UTF-8 fonts on the system. After all, ISO-8859-1 is the only encoding that really matters, just as i386 is the only architecture that really matters. -- G.
