IIRC acon is something for the linux console only. I also recall it was quite buggy. At least last time I tried it (around 2001). Were there any newer versions?

Again, this is needed for the Linux console, which is limited with a character map of 512 characters. Or you can use the font LatArCyrHeb-16 . -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
