In *Messages* I can read: > "Set-face-attribute: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil". I'm not sure W3 is supposed to work on a tty, but if you have Emacs 21.x, please set debug-on-error to a non-nil value and then post here the backtrace produced when you try to start W3. It could be that there's some bug, either in Emacs or in W3, that is easy to fix, since Emacs 21 supports faces on a tty.
