At which point does the fonts in xterm disappear? Or did they never do that? > Ah well, I didn't realize that I *have* to use UTF-8 if support for it > is enabled in ion. Is that what you're saying?

No, obviously, X chooses the font with the correct charset by itself. I think I had misunderstood the UTF-8 support in Ion. It does not mean that Ion will use UTF-8 fonts for drawing. Rather, it means that Ion will use UTF-8 for its internal text strings and when reading text properties from client windows. The font used will be whatever font is needed for the charset specified by the locale. Hmm, so I still don't understand why it doesn't work. Can you check that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is defined in /usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias? It probably is, though, since fonts work in other applications.
