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.. > > - I added LESSCHARSET=latin1 to my environment (otherwise less > > refused to show the non-ascii characters) > > Because you refuse to let your environment include Hebrew characters.

When I do export LC_ALL=he_IL, less works fine without needing the LESSCHARSET thing. > How about typing Hebrew in anything but vim? > > (Actually, with most program nowadays: mozilla, QT/KDE >= 2, gtk >=2, > OpenOffice, this is no longer an issue. Still Hebrew environment vars > are a good hint to sane programs defaults, e.g: fonts of gtk programs) 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 :) ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
