Hello

I have major troubles with Suse Linux 9.1 when it comes to non-English characters using Konsole or actual console.

Before going further in the diagnosis, is there a simple solution to this?

what is the output of "locale" in your console

Thank you for your kind and swift answer. Well, I use en_UK, the language I chose during the installation due the fact Finnish is *still* not an option... Choosing en_UK locale has worked fine until 9.1, swithing to Swedish solved the problem. Jag talar Svensk, men mycket dåligt :-) Pool Britons who wishes to write ¡Hola! etc. to their amigos. No options until they learn what is Swedish in Swedish... :-) -- Best regards, --Jyry C|:-( C|:-/ C|========8-O C|8-/ C|:-(

open a console or xterm whatever you are comfortable and type locale and send the output to the list please

Hello again. I think I was too optimistic about solving the problem changing the language to Swedish. No help, really. The locale print out the following: LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_TIME="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_NAME="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="sv_SE.UTF-8" LC_ALL= The problem was then same when I used en_UK. The konsole is utterly messed up when ever a non-English character appears to the visible "screen" when scrolling and rolling text using konsole. Oh, yes, same nasty features using when console [Alt-F1-6]. -- Cheers, --Jyry C|:-( C|:-/ C|========8-O C|8-/ C|:-(
