Do you get 8-bit chars in those cases? If I 'chsh' to bash, 8 bit characters work fine even without doing any of the above... I'm a bit lost on that one. Now I remember that at some point they worked when I had compiled and installed zsh myself, and they stoped working since I switched to the Debian zsh package. Anyway thanks a lot for your help, I'll keep trying but really don't understand what's going on, especially with bash working and zsh not.
