I have tried setting the UTF-8 font in kmail but this does not work. kmail translates "utf-8" to "iso10646-1" when I type it into the "encoding" box and it uses the "console" font with that encoding no matter what I select from the font list. The drop-down list of encodings shows "default" and "iso-8859-1" only, so I have to type in other encodings by hand. Do I have to add the encodings elsewhere? Do I need one of the i18n packages? I don't want KDE to start displaying menus and dialogs in a foreign language. I'm using xfs and xfstt, is this part of the problem? My truetype fonts are on my W*****s hard disk, which I have mounted read-only. Thanks, John
