Apparently in XFree86 4.X and beyond, they are offering unicode representations, and many applications are NOT correctly specifying the font encoding to be ISO8859-1. If they don't specify, they get the unicode version. I noticed this problem with Xchat. If I go in and select the proper font (with encoding), it works. Luckily most of Xchat is comprehensible enough to go into the menus and fix it. So, now the challenge is to find the correct incantation in my .Xdefaults (resources) which RealPlayer just might read and override the font settings. Does anyone know how to determine this? It isn't documented anywhere. Thanks, -Clint To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
