OK, I tried LC_CTYPEs of de_DE.ISO-8859-15 [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], all of which resulted in: setlocale() failed. > It would be helpful if you could try ion-devel without the UTF-8 option. > Either rebuild the Debian package with it disabled, or use the official > tarball, and let me know if it works. I rebuilt the package and it works partly now. The texts are visible with the default fonts (Helvetica 12 and 14), but not with "fixed" for example (-*-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-). I've got xfonts-base-transcoded installed. Ah, and I'm using the X 4.3.0 packages from Debian experimental. If there's more I can do to help, please keep telling :) Cheers, Mika
