This is actually a very good point!! A whole load of info came up on-screen
about utf-8 fonts at the end of the SuSE 9.1 install process but so far it
hasn't made any difference to anything I've been doing on the system.

I'll check all this out now as my remote clients are running all sorts of
xterm's, dxterm's, rxvt's etc and I've never had to think about character
encoding before (except vt100 compatibility in some instances) - they are
probably set to iso-8859-1.

Probably at least $200 worth to me!
