I'm supposed to know this but:

In dired view symlinks have no visual indication that they are
symlinks. They just appear to be regular files.

I think, in the past I saw an -> etc like is displayed in ls -l.

Are you using insert-directory from files.el or ls-lisp.el?  (C-h f
to find out.)

If from files.el, check dired-listing-switches and
dired-ls-F-marks-symlinks with C-h v.

For me on Mac OS X in GNU Emacs 22.0.50 sym-links are displayed in a  
bold font face, as the directory's path name in the buffer's head.

Can it be that you use a font or fontset based on regular only fonts?


I never saw in dired-mode sym-links displayed the same way as in xterm.
