Also, I experimented = with fonts in xterm and uxterm, only the default font allowed unicode chara= ters to display, so I am now using urxvt and it works great. I also changed= my pager option in the shell start up file to less as opposed to more, and= set lesscharset environment variable, man pages display fine now for me. For people using UTF-8, the uxterm script works out of the box... The usual problem with fonts is from overwriting the utf8Fonts resource setting via a too-wide "fonts" wildcard pattern. --=20 Thomas E.
