Spanish characters not showing correctly in linux..


Hi Guys,
The Spanish characters are not showing up correctly in Redhat Linux. Do I need to install a RPM for that or I have to replace the characters manually ??

e.g CANFIELD SWISS CRĂME is showing instead of CANFIELD SWISS CREME

I suppose you don't have a problem with fonts, rather with correct character encoding. maybe this fairly recent thread can point you in the right direction. It focuses on character encoding in the web context, but the general problem may be the same.

Can you type those into some word processor and be correct?
