Thinking better about it, check your pacman logs for any font updates and try setting the terminal emulator to use a different font, maybe to a font that renders properly in other places like a text editor.

There is nothing that stands out, and changing the font doesn't improve things at all :(

I also tried logging into Gnome3 (using GDM) and then I do get the accented characters, in both lxterminal and gnome-terminal.

/M

I'm not sure why, but the locale wasn't set properly by lxdm. I added the line export LANG=sv_SE.utf8 into ~/.xprofile to make sure it was set before lxsession is invoked and now everything is fine again. /M -- Magnus Therning                      OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org   jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe               http://therning.org/magnus
