gnome-terminal does support unicode. For the gnome1 version: - select a font in iso10646-1 encoding - set at least LC_CTYPE to something like en_US.UTF-8. At least in Debian GNU/Linux you might also have to "dpkg-reconfigure locales" to actually enable that locale to be generated - "echo -n ^[%G" inside the terminal, where ^[ is a literal escape character (type it as Control-V Control-[) For the gnome2 version: - set at least LC_CTYPE to something like en_US.UTF-8. - start a new gnome terminal. If you already have one running with a different locale setting, you might have to run it as "gnome-terminal --disable-factory" This is enough to run mutt and (with the right font, like misc-fixed) read almost any correctly tagged Asian spam! -- Bart.
