Hi, I had the same probl here. By default, charset is configured to be UTF-8; this caused here the same probls you described (I use Brazilian Portuguese accents). I fixed that by replacing this SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en:pt_BR.UTF-8:pt_BR:pt" for this SUPPORTED="en_US.iso88591:en_US:en:pt_BR.iso88591:pt_BR:pt" HTH Andre On Sun, 30 Nov 2003 15:49:59 +0100 "Tuflipes" <tuflipes@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > HI there, > > im sure i have something missconfigured because im seeing strange > characters using: vi, in my homepage,...
