It seems unrleated to your problem. How to control the font depends on the terminal program you are using. If you're using gnome-terminal, it mostly should "just work" for you out of the box. If you've selected a specific font, that may actually break it for you. On xterm and older programs, you need to specify the font using an X resource. For example, I like to use the "Universal font": XTerm*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* Add that to $HOME/.Xdefaults, and then run the following: $ xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults $ xterm & Now, in the new xterm that you just started, run Mutt. It should display properly, if you have the right fonts installed. If you don't have the right fonts installed, you'll either get a different font that matches that name but doesn't have all the unicode characters present, or you'll get an error about X finding no matching fonts, and using "fixed" instead. -- Derek D.
