Try apt-get install console-cyrillic This package contains cyrillic console fonts and keyboard mappings. UniCyr font probably be the best choice for you. > perfect as it can be.

You should select cyrillic font for your xterm, it is enough for most terminal applications. Try one of the fonts contained in xfonts-cyrillic, xfonts-bolkhov-75dpi and xfonts-bolkhov-misc packages. Note that for lynx you should explicitly specify encoding: CHARACTER_SET:koi8-r ASSUME_CHARSET:koi8-r ASSUME_LOCAL_CHARSET:koi8-r -- Andrey V. Kiselev Home phone: +7 812 5274898 ICQ# 26871517
