$ mutt -v
Mutt 1.5.17 (2007-11-01)

[...]

System: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (i686)

[...]

$ locale | grep LANG
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

$ mlterm -v
mlterm version 2.9.4

and the font I use is Terminus. I only see some dashes and spaces, but I
guess there are some fonts missing. On the console I see dashes and
diamonds. With xfce4-terminal and the Monospace font (I'm guessing it's
actually DejaVu) I can see the characters correctly (as far as I can
tell).

Regards,
Andrei
P.S. Now I'll reconsider switching to xfce4-terminal, though it starts
slower than mlterm

It works under xfce4-terminal. Right now I am experimenting with
different fonts for mlterm, but can't seem to get it right.

It all looks ok from here using mutt. I am seeing each character
separated by a dash or hyphen.

Mutt 1.5.17+20080114 (2008-01-14)

$ locale | grep LANG
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8

I can confirm that for you, but it only works if I use mutt under
xfce4-terminal. I doesn't work with mlterm (or I'm missing a setting).

I don't have anything related in my .muttrc except

set charset="utf-8"

but it works even if I unset that.

Andrei

If only locales didn't slow down all my boxes except for my big
Athlon64. Running a mixed C and UTF-8 home network is a PITA because
when you ssh in you have to remember to start with LANG=C anyway.

So your ??s look like ??s to me.

Its not that bad since one ?? would mean the same as another ?? to me
anyway.

What gets me is when a man page is written in english and "'" gets
translated as "?", as in can?t or "'" is a square white blob (on a
regular VT). Why couldn't whoever wrote it in english have used the
standard english "'" glyph instead of a UTF thingy?
