However when I open a file, which I recently have edited with Greek and Hebrew symbols and saved as UTF-8, those symbols are displayed as empty boxes. Strange enough, when I chose an input mode, say Greek or Hebrew (no BIDI support but anyway), the symbols I *then type* but only these are correctly displayed, I save them as UTF-8 leave the buffer, reenter the buffer and _again_ I just see just empty boxes. Now I just downloaded and installed fonts from http://www.m17n.org/emacs-bidi the m17nfonts. These fonts allow to display even Hebrew with nikkud. Now When I start emacs like alias e6 'emacs -font "-m17n-mule-medium-r-normal--20-140-100-100-p-90-iso10646-1" -bg grey86 \!* &' (I know I should not) then everything is displayed nicely, however these fonts a proportional fonts, I would prefer fixed fonts of the courier type. So what can I do? Thanks Uwe Brauer
