I'm sorry, but I cannot agree. It is the 1st application I encounter which has such a limitation... I agree, though, that the behaviour of most applications, ie. spitting UTF8 to terminals not supporting it, is suboptimal. But for text that is not essential to the execution of the program, I would not care (especially when it is run from a window-manager menu !) Best regards, -- Yann
