Hey Nicholas!

 NB> There aren't many.

It works for me so far but I haven't done all that much with it.

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
