Thanks for the help, it turned out that the following solves the problem: (set-terminal-coding-system 'iso-8859-5) That's because in my .Xdefaults I have this: == Rxvt*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-20-200-*-75-c-100-iso8859-5 xterm*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-5 == (iso-8859-5 is the standard cyrillic encoding, although it is much less used than the Microsoft non-standard cp1251 aka windows-1251) -- vedm _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
