Morning Peter,

st-0.2.1 works fine for simple diacritics (such as those in your
email signature), at least with font:
-*-terminus-medium-r-*-*-*-220-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*

I'd guess it's the default x / st font settings working against you.
I know that isn't much of an answer.

Why have you moved off the xft branch? I've been working with rather
more complex characters than accented latin, and st-xft has been a
godsend.

Nick
