No, it is the intended behaviour. http://fsinfo.noone.org/~abe/typing-8bit.html >even work with UTF-8 applications, and st is an exclusively UTF-8 >terminal. XTerm handles that transparently: when in UTF-8 mode, Meta-d is still CHR$(ASC("d")+128) = "ä", just U+00E4 instead of a raw '\xE4' octet. This is *extremely* useful – especially as it leads people away from national keyboard layouts towards QWERTY while retainig the ability to write business eMails, which require correct spelling. bye, //mirabilos -- 17:57 < jtsn> Der 25C3 ist lustig.
