I thought you are talking =20 > about our console font. >=20 Well, I was thinking of the X11 ones. Yes, I realize they are loaded from a port of the x.org stuff, so it's x.org's responsibility to keep these current, and hopefully they are. But if we ever switch to utf-8 as a default charset, we should confirm they are up-to-date. Markus Kuhn is regularly adding=20 new characters to these fonts and I do not follow how fast x.org tracks these updates. Now you mention it, though, the console support also needs to be current. That's one area I/we never checked for utf-8 support here. You'll notice "to be completed" in the unicode.html notes in the console section. If anyone investigates this and discovers that something doesn't work by default and a config change needs documenting, feel free to email me and I'll add details to the unicode.html notes file. -jr --sXc4Kmr5FA7axrvy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iQDVAwUBRKFrN0kkqUax7f6FAQK7eQX+JN5EcEuhONBnOd5wFODpuyuj8Ha72s2a jfjI2+2bPF597kt/11RE31c6yFfmYRzMxzdviaQeoOEpfUqfdsTe8tjrmocDZuxm YxtinrP80f+Ty6h7ZSgdiWgB8Y+GQ+EBDghSFNsbNS6V9NJPQT7T8d/5Pqr0NEkL JOPxF4nAaAPAWLepqD7SjXIxewWDh3OAzr24G3oHBwk2rqPm+Hmy1H2vLgVFDXkC zpg2LHLWMZccUzcPT6ItafQrtoxvLc07 =pJMt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sXc4Kmr5FA7axrvy--
