If it's a bash console window, the X fonts will not affect it -- you have to select a Windows font in Properties that has cyrillic characters in it. If it's rxvt or xterm, then indeed you'll have to use the X fonts (at least in the X mode of rxvt). Furthermore, are you talking about *displaying* cyrillic characters, or *inputting* them? If the former, try "cat"ting a file containing those characters and if that doesn't work properly, look at the first paragraph above. If the latter, see . Igor P.S. For the "ls" problem, try the --show-control-chars parameter. ;-) -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_ pechtcha AT cs DOT nyu DOT edu ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ igor AT watson DOT ibm DOT com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.
