Please tell more.  For starters, when you connect from Fedora 7, do
you start Emacs in the GUI mode (i.e. under X) or in text terminal
mode?

Also, what do you mean by ``characters do not show up'', exactly?  Do
you see empty boxes or some other characters?

Finally, what version of Emacs do you run?

Oh, and try "emacs -q --no-site-file" in both cases to see if the
behavior changes.
