I use "setenv LC_CTYPE no_NO.ISO8859-1" in my .cshrc (yes, I still use tcsh), and don't set LANG at all, on my 10.2 systems. This works like a charm - I can display my Norwegian characters (זרו) both on the command line and for instance in vi etc. No UTF here. Not at all sure this works with VGA characters though - I mainly use remote login via ssh. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.nohelp
