And once you set xterm/rxvt (I use rxvt) with a cyrillic font like iso8859-5 it can display it: I can see the files with the "more" command. > (Unicode encoded fonts, *-iso10646-1, could do a better job since they > would allow Latin diacritics too.

Yes, I agree that UTF is better for handling all sorts of languages, but I still haven't tried to use it in emacs and Xterm. (One disadvantage of UTF is that the UTF files (at least cyrillic files) are almost two times bigger compared to ASCII encoded files). -- vedm
