terminal font
Hello -
I just installed WindowMaker on my laptop... although it is fine in KDE, the terminal language in windowmaker is displaying nothing but a bunch of ambiguous characters... I can type commands and they are executed as they should be... how can I fix this?

Is there an option to choose the different set of terminal chars?

If you're talking about the GNOME-terminal then it's easy:
(No 100% in the name - translating from localisized version)
Edit->Current Profile
The first tab (General), has button like thing, there you can change font. You can even, not recomended, use a non-monospace font -- doesn't look nice (I love monospace
)

GNOME
As I said, It's a WindowMaker XTERM...
My normal TTY terminals are fine... TTY 1 is displayed in a different font than TTY 2-6... X runs on TTY 7 and 8 - TTY 9 is a Kernel Messages display (I think). The KTerm fonts are fine in KDE...
PLEASE HELP!!!

Funny.. that's an exact copy and paste - to describe it... hmmmm.... It literally looks as though it's writing in a font similar to the m$ Symbol font... it's jut a bunch of random characters... It's like the xterm is reading the WRONG keycode... but it's fine in KDE

Probably it's either a font problem, or it's an internationalization problem. Are these regular xterms or some windowmaker-specific one?
