Got it! Your comments led me to do some searching/experimenting. In seamonky there are a couple of settings controlling the look: Apearance->Fonts and Character Encoding. I needed to set Character Encoding to UTF-8, but what was not obvious at all is that the font configuration for UTF-8 was in a setting for "Fonts for: Other Languages". Generally, I use "Western". Once I set the fonts for that *and* the Character Encoding, I was able to control things. Thanks for the input. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
