Howdy, I have a tiny file with four ISO-8859-1 characters in it: "�t�\n". (In case this email gets mangled, that is: e/acute-accent, t, e/acute-accent, newline).
On the linux console, "cat" correctly shows the file. Using xterm, "cat" correctly shows the file. Using gnome-terminal, a blank line is output. The system is an up-to-date sid system, with gnome-terminal version 2.1.0-2. What do I need to do to get accented characters to show up? I thought I might need to choose a font with iso-8859-1 encoding, but the font selection window shows only "Family", "Style" and "Size" -- nothing about encoding. What do I need to do to get accented characters to show? Thanks, -Steve P.S. You can also see the problem using "man iso-8859-1". It works fine in xterm, but in gnome-terminal, the "Char" and "Description" columns are blank for most entries.
