Some of the mails do declare an encoding (charset="ISO-2022-JP", for instance, in the folder I am currently playing with), so I guess playing with "assumed_charset" will not work here. Anyway, setting other variables like file_charset has not worked. But maybe I should be playing with gnome-terminal settings simultaneously, and see if there is some combination of things that works... I don't know. Anyway, I'll keep experimenting.

I had a similar (but smaller) problem with a Danish-speaking yahoo mailing list: A lot of the emails said they had US-ASCII encoding, but they *really* were iso-8859-1 (yahoo email is ...bad...). End result: The Danish letters 'æøå' and their uppercase equivalents 'ÆØÅ' showed up as question marks (I hope they display OK in this mail!)

You might want to change to an rxvt that does unicode or kxvt. It appears that mutt/jed are having a tough time picking up the right encoding from gnome-terminal.

Run locale in a terminal and see what happens. I have nothing of this set except LANG=en_US. However, my problem is not running the application with Japanese menus or input capabilities (I can run abiword/gedit/iceweasel in Japanese, with input capabilities and all), only displaying Japanese text in the terminal. As I said in other mail in this thread, my problem seems to be specific to mutt and jed, and possibly other applications. The same LANG environment and Terminal Character encoding that lets me 'cat' a Japanese email and see it correctly in gnome-terminal, does not allow me to read that email in mutt or edit it in jed.

Well, your question made me investigate a bit more, and I discovered that I am indeed able to see Japanese text... sometimes at least. I copied text from Japanese Wikipedia, and it is copied correctly into gnome-terminal. I can 'cat' emails in Japanese and I see them.

Hi, For viewing files in Japanese, or typing Japanese, all you should need is the appropriate fonts and the correct character encoding. In most cases, UTF-8 will do fine. If you want to run apps, or even gnome-terminal, with a Japanese locale, only then do you need to generate a Japanese locale and set it up to be used, eg. "LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 gedit". From the description you gave above, it sounds like you should have everything needed to at least display Japanese, so what exactly goes wrong? Can you for example copy text from the Japanese Wikipedia to gnome-terminal? -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Yeah, that is a bit tedious. I was doing an even more tedious version of that: looking up the kanji in an online english <-> japanese kanji dictionary, copy paste. You'd think I would have thought of the gnome charmap thing myself. The problem, it seems is that the fonts I installed didnt have glyphs for the characters I was trying to use, or they werent mapped to the right unicode characters but to the normal latin character set instead, replacing the normal a,b,c,etc with japanese characters. I've found a few fonts with the necessary glyphs now and everything is working. thanks for the suggestion. -davidc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
