Are the n-dashes > showing for you at http://www.emacswiki.org, for example? Do you have w3m set up correctly? I mean the program, rather than the Emacs mode. I remember that when I switched to utf-8 I had some problems like this because I had previously set w3m up for latin-1. You can test this by visiting some page with problem characters using the w3m program from a terminal. Regards, -- Jim Ottaway
