Where are all other locales?... Anyway, try LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 , though I don't think that will solve your problem :( By the way, LC_ALL overrides all LC_* and also LANG. I think what influences the way fonts are displayed is LC_CTYPE, but LC_ALL is always a better choice. Just an idea : try installing the other locales, in case the system is trying to read them while trying to display special characters (I don't know). An easy way to install them is to just copy the entire directory from another machine which contains them: bash-3.00$ locale -a |wc -l 319 This is the most possible cause I can think of. > "Finally, if none of the above works, try disabling some FontPath's > from /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/Xorg.conf until you find out > which font path contains problematic fonts, and recreate the > fonts.cache , fonts.dir and fonts.scale in that directory.

Actually, this is a tk problem, tk is very problematic with the way it handles fonts (even tk 8.5 which supports antialiased fonts). I suppose you have no other tk applications installed. As a temporary solution, you can copy ~/.amsn to a machine that does not have this problem and enter custom nicknames (without special characters) for all of your contacts, and copy the other ~/.amsn back to your machine. It should only crash when someone is typing special characters to you or inside the language selector, so you can avoid those and use amsn. Try to ask the tk people for help, they might know more.
