My font paths (all in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts) were correct, and the various font-using software was able to find it all. The answer turned out to be much simpler than that... For some reason, the default build configuration of x.org 6.8.1 was NOT including Speedo font drivers, which (I discovered last night) are necessary for viewing UTF-8 encodings. So if you ever build x.org from source and want to ensure full Unicode support, be sure to add the line #define BuildSpeedo YES to your host.def file before compiling. -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
