åäö in aterm

I recently tried on aterm, and was quite pleased, until I discovered that "åäö" got distorted. Has anyone encountered this problem, and, even better, resolved it? I'm running SuSE 9.2 Pro using Fluxbox as Window Manager.

P.S. In xterm "åäö" looks just fine. D.S.

I believe I just resolved the problem by adding the line

export LANG=sv_SE.ISO-8859-1

in ~/.bashrc. I did the same in ~/.profile to allow "åäö" in login shells. It seems to work fine; at least pine gives me the swedish letters and I'm able to write them out in my aterm.

So, I guess I'm OK!

well done...this will hopefully be a big help to someone else with the same problem....

Perhaps even better is to add

export LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1

instead. This allows "åäö" in aterm, and pine, also avoiding the drawback of programs (I disovered it for k3b and gnubiff) mixing english and swedish in menus. I wanted english only, and got it as well as my "åäö" (need them for "native" e-mail purposes), by the line above.
