Hello, List, Czerno speaking...

Sindi - I presume - just said :

Noted.

In /theory/, iso-646 is just another name for "plain, 7 bit,
US-ASCII". See :
http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso646.html (excellent site altogether).

In practice, do X-fonts exist with 'glyphs' only for 7-bit characters
exist ? Or, are those font files advertised as iso-646, but really
contain glyphs for hi-chars, from /some/ assumed repertoire (maybe in
fact, the IBM-PC cp 437; which probably is what we want in a
terminal, most of the time) ? 

 > Which charset do you need to view things properly locally?
I wish I could answer your question with precision. Unfortunately I
am lost, there are too many variables - and/or my understanding is
too vague. 

Thanks so much for caring. I may be on and off the list in coming
days but I'll try hard not to sink under a flow of personal problems.

Regards
