I use a greek console font on my console, and then fire up emacs with: $ emacs -nw --unibyte By having the following in my .emacs file, I don't even need Mule support to edit Greek text: (standard-display-8bit 128 256) (set-input-mode (car (current-input-mode)) (nth 1 (current-input-mode)) 0) This is not the `official' way of using languages and encodings in Emacs, since in X11 that usually involves Mule and the C-\ commands, but this works nicely on the console and I mostly use FreeBSD on the console :) -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
