Re: accents

[Andrés Ghigliazza]

Pascal,

Thanks for you answer, but I have not luck yet.

I tried the command set-terminal-coding-system with both (I guess that
I am using ISO-8859-1, but I can't remember where to see it). With
ISO-8859-1, accents and "ñ" are seen right, but I can't type them (the
same for the default). With UTF-8, neither I can see them, nor I can
type them.

Any other idea? I recall you, that the problem is just in windowed
terminal, and it happens in local and remote hosts with ssh (in normal
terminal, it works perfectly in local and remote hosts).

Thanks very much,

tizo
