Hey,

  Does anyone here use the text browser w3m?  I'd used it as my
primary browser in RedHat 6.0 & am using the 586 mdk rpm in
lm7.2.  I'd first installed the rpm to find that it appears to
install the japanese version, but setting the English after it's
installed doesn't fix what I get.

  There are numerous odd characters on most pages making some of
them almost unreadable.  These characters are mostly accented
foreign characters, & many -- but not all -- are where table
boarders go.  Even in the Options window, all the names of the
different settings are odd characters, but I'd figured out by
that window & the config file how to get most of the options I
want.

  Later, I'd removed the rpm & installed the latest tar which
allows some of the config on the command line -- like the
language setting.  That did the same.  Sadly, removing that &
installing a previous tar release does this too.  I'd even tried
different terminal fonts.  It's always the same.

  Gotta tell ya, life without java, java script & advertising
makes the Web a lot easier to deal with, but lynx (even the
latest version) leaves much to be desired that w3m does nicely.

  Any ideas?

  Meph
