    Hello

    I have major troubles with Suse Linux 9.1 when it comes to non-English
    characters using Konsole or actual console.

    I use Finnish/Swedish keyboard layout, and дце are working fine, but every
    non-Scandinavian accented letter messes up in big way.

    Either accented "a" or any other prints out silly smiley or similar, and
    espcecially writing an e-mail using pine is absolute madness, when
    writing with non-a-to-z characters becomes uneditable.

    Before going further in the diagnosis, is there a simple solution to this?

    I have done few tests where this problems occurs to rule out possibilities
    of KDE etc, but this seems to be deeper in Suse Linux 9.1 -- currently I
    am writing this e-mail using Gentoo that has no such problems like Suse
    Linux 9.0 had.

    Cheers for now.
