Ah, thanks, that is even better :)
(I'm not exactly sure how these X resources work, I glanced at the
xterm manpage and came up with XTerm*font1, but I couldn't figure out
how to change the name of the font as your example does)
Now, if I could change the xterm font with my keyboard instead of
going to the fontMenu with my mouse, it would be even cooler..

Ok, I get your point now. When I do export LC_ALL=he_IL, less works
fine without needing the LESSCHARSET thing.

I wonder why that is so. does it mean that the locale thing is being
deprecated, or are all those programs wrong ignoring the locale?
(probably this is a stupid question anyway, because I'm too ignorant
of these topics, please don't bother to answer :)
