It should just work. Note, however, there are very few fonts that have *all* the Unicode characters: Fedora has chosen a good one, but you will do much better in X, since most of the work is aimed at graphical interfaces. You may also find that if you have a particular language in mind, there will be one that is better at that particular purpose. > And since my keyboard > has not all UTF-8 chars, how those seldomly used chars > should be entered? Well, in vim, if you know the Unicode reference, try Ctrl-V u 1234 (no spaces, and that should be typed in insert mode). Try http://www.unicode.org/charts/ for references For example, this line was typed into the console: ÄÄÅÅÅÅà and this one into vim in the Gnome terminal: ÎÎÎââââÌâ (That's going to give a lot of people's mail readers a good work-out!) If it's an unusual language, you could try switching your keymap appropriately. James. -- E-mail address: james | DON'T be put off by "horror stories" spread by @westexe.demon.co.uk | others.
