I'm just experimenting with the console in linux, i.e., starting up
emacs without starting X. echo $TERM now shows: linux. How do I find
out what it should be?
For some reason the problem seems to have fixed itself in xterm when
running X. I've been mucking around in my .Xresources trying to fix
the xterm fonts, but I'm not sure what the change was that solved the
problem. It stil exists in the non-X console.

I'll try that if I can't figure out the underlying problem, thanks.
