    Hi all, I have a query about codepages. I recently upgraded my SuSE 9.3
    box to openSUSE 10.0 and a few things went awry in the process, the most
    annoying of which is the fact that I can't see accents in the console.
    Everything looks fine in KDE but in a console, including an xterm,
    accents are replaced by question marks. I have tried changing the
    RC_LANG environment variable to no avail. Is it necessary to restart
    the machine for RC_LANG changes to take effect or is a logout/login
    sufficient? The font is capable of displaying the characters in
    question because if I hold down the alt key and type 246 on the keypad I
    get an umlauted o. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Very confused,

    James.
