Definitely. I have the same problem with vt and de_DE.ISO8859-1 if I want to use the Umlauts =F6 =E4 =FC =D6 =C4 =DC and Eszett =DF. This is one of the cases where vt cannot do what sc could do for decades. Maybe a workaround for you is this: Set fr_FR.UTF-8 and check if you get the correct accents on the vowels (or just "escaped unprintable" representation). However, according to _my_ documentation the setting does not have a 2nd "-" in it, not fr_FR.ISO-8859-1, but fr_FR.ISO8859-1 (only one "-") should be used. Maybe you can try this as well? --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
