[Bashburn-info] Update on display problem.

[Steven W. O. <st...@sy...>]

There are two programs that I'm using to look at the problem.

xlsfonts # Used to display the list of all fonts
xfd	# to display the characters in a font.

I took a look at a large font at random.

xfd -fn '-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--34-240-100-100-m-200-iso8859-9'

and it's clear that you can see all of the funny characters.

Then I started an xterm using that font.

xterm -font '-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--34-240-100-100-m-200-iso8859-9'

Then from that xterm, I run bashburn. I switch from English to Swedish and 
the problem still persists.

So, my question is this: Why do we think that the encoding we're using is 
even correct in the first place?

If someone can show me a program that's written in anything that displays 
these characters then I can get this solved.
