   Hey Nicholas!   
      
    NB> There aren't many.   
      
   It works for me so far but I haven't done all that much with it.   
      
    NB> When you switch to specific languages, do you also have to switch   
    NB> fonts?   
      
   Sometimes but currently using latarcyrheb-sun32 which has more than enough   
   coverage for fidonet in it's current atate of being.  The only trouble I have   
   is with proper word wrapping Arabic and Hebrew.  Also with all the 24-bit   
   character languages (Chinese et al) there are zero compatible terminal fonts,   
   but have only seen one posting in Chinese in the last decade by someone that   
   hacked a Apple app on his smartphone.   
      
   If needed I'd swich to a gui where there are more choices font-wise but   
   definetly stick with vim ... with all the gui goodness turned on of course.    
   As things stand today we're far beyond what is truly supported by the CHRS   
   kludge, not counting the bogus ones such as LATIN-1.  :::evil grin:::   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
