Actually the Xutf8 extension is technically nothing else than: orig_locale = setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL); setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "UTF-8"); Xmb* stuff setlocale(LC_CTYPE, orig_locale); Besides this Xutf8 is rarely used because it is nearly unportable in !Linux and !BSD environemnts (e.g. Sun, HP, AIX, ...). Thus, I ask: are you sure you use a UTF-8 capable locale in your setup? Regards, -- Anselm R. Garbe >< http://suckless.org/~arg/ >< GPG key: 0D73F361
