Hi David, Using a Gnome terminal and the default character set "Current Local Ansi_X3.4-1968" all the asian characters are bad. Using "Unicode (UTF-8)" all look good. So cat'ing _does_ work properly. On the plus side, being able to display correctly in (1) a Gnome terminal and (2) in Eclipse's source code window (which uses "Monospace") and (3) in a Claws-Mail window indicates that all needed fonts are available. On the minus side, e experiments to change emacs' mule encoding to ascii, chinese, and utf-8 don't seem to have any effect :-< David
