X11 and g++ font problem

Question

hi,
I am experiencing some fonts problem with x11 when using g++, g++'s error messages contains some funny fonts under x11. For example, when compiling the following code, I get:
1 void function_name() {
2 int u; // to create a compile warning
3 }
4
5 int main () {
6 int a; // to create a compile warning "unused variable"
7 yy ul; // to create a compile error
8 }
g++ -Wall t.C
t.C: In function ‘void function_name()’:
t.C:2: warning: unused variable ‘u’
t.C: In function ‘int main()’:
t.C:7: error: ‘yy’ was not declared in this scope
t.C:7: error: expected `;' before ‘ul’
t.C:6: warning: unused variable ‘a’
which is normal, but on my xterm under x11, i get "\hat{a}" for all the symbols enclosed by ` and ' . I could not cut-and-paste the errors on this message. For example: `void function_name()' in the first line is shown on my xterm as "\hat{a}"
My system configuration is: OS: 10.5, X11.app 2.0 - X.org X11R7.2, gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)
Thanks in advance for the help.
Sincerely,
Hwee Kuan
