Answering myself: I've notisted that some other things also didn't worked with Portuguese characters, like "joe" or even the console... The problem after all was that I hadn't installed locales.. so: apt-get locales export [EMAIL PROTECTED] that's it!

For example, export [EMAIL PROTECTED] For this, you have to generate this locale, that is issue a dpkg-reconfigure locales for instance and choose to generate [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the one you're interested in. hth, Olivier. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
