I would agree... and using XFT is probably the way forward. I found that if you follow the instructions here: https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/FontsWithXFT/ the current master branch seems to work better WRT utf8 font handling - I think by primarily throwing away the current (invalid) font aliases. They should be ISO10646 I believe, not 8859-*. XFT can also fill in the holes, where a particular glyph is missing from a font, by substituting another glyph from a font that has it. So, for "real" utf8 support, XFT may be the only reasonable way to go. But, as you said, significant work will be required - especially in dtterm, from what I've seen. Patches are always welcome, especially if you are well versed in the issues of supporting internationalized fonts in X11. -- Jon Trulson "Entropy. It isn't what it used to be." -- Sheldon
