OK, we're getting somwhere I think. :) You're right. Using "fixed" does work. And I think the reason is that on my system "-*-fixed..." defaults to: "-*-fixed-*-*-*--*-*-*-*-*-*-jisx0208.1983-0" which has a really weird encoding and looks like Chinese to me :) So, when I use this font it's invisible in ion (with UTF disabled). It's invisible in xterm, rxvt and Eterm as well. There is no error message though. I guess one could live with this and I don't even know if there's a way ion could check the encoding of the font to make sure it matches the locale. The problem with the UTF version persists though. With LC_CTYPE="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" I can't get any font to be displayed, not even if I am specific like: "-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso8859-15" And there is no error message here either. > So I will have to disable UTF-8 in the package, I guess. I don't know. Perhaps we should try to fix the bug :) I'd also like to help but I really don't know much about fonts and all this stuff so you'd need to direct me a little... Cheers, Mika
