You need to tell applications that in your locale, there are printable characters at those code positions. Try setting LANG=en_US.ISO_8859-1 in your environment. Works for me. See /usr/share/locale/ for other supported locales. sv_SE.ISO_8859-1 might be of particular interest to you, if you also prefer to have some programs talk Swedish to you. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
