It's Japanese, Hiragana to be specific. The last character is an exclamation point, or if you meant the one before that, it's the Hiragana syllable "su". It's odd that either of those would not display properly, if you have Japanese fonts installed. But nothing surprises me. > >잘 먹으세요!

Er, yes... but I'm not sure what that has to do with it. .Xauthority is a file which the X server checks to see if you have permission (cookies) to access the display. I guess you might mean .Xdefaults or .Xresources instead, and yes I have that file too (both of them, though they're essentially redundant), which contains the resources above. Depending on how you start your X session, you might need to force the X server to load your resources file using xrdb -merge (in, say, .xsession or whatever). > So, I think, all this Asian fonts are just mutter of correct font > being installed on the system.

But it does depend a bit on what terminal program you're using, and how your fonts are configured. -- Derek D.
