Thanks. When I saw your suggestion, I was very hopeful. (My previous font entry in .Xdefaults was simply: XTerm*font:*courier-bold-r*140* ) However, when I changed my .Xdefaults entry to XTerm*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 and restarted X, I still had the problem with the less program (not showing latin1 characters such as u-with-umlaut and e-with-acute). (Interestingly, when I run emacs in an xterm, I do see the latin1 special characters. I believe this has always been the case.) -- Steffen
