My window manager is ctwm-4.0.1,1 and xterm is xterm-331. Now for my problem: when I start up an xterm in X from ctwm I get two characters for every one entered, with the second one being a space. For example, when typing in hello in an xterm window it displays as h e l l o However, if I specify a font with '-fn 10x20' on the xterm invocation I don't get the gratuitous spaces. When installing xterm I get the pkg-message.wchar message displayed: ================================================================================ You installed xterm with wide chars support. This introduces some limitations comparing to the plain single chars version: this version of xterm will use UTF-8 charset for selection buffers, breaking 8-bit copy/paste support unless you are using UTF-8 or ISO8859-1 locale. If you want 8-bit charset selections to work as before, use "eightBitSelectTypes" XTerm resource setting. For further information refer to the SELECT/PASTE section of xterm(1) manual page. ================================================================================ So, I attempted to disable wide-character support in xterm by turning off the WCHAR option via make config, but it isn't staying off. Rerunning make config shows that it's back on again and rebuilding and installing xterm still puts out the warning. Anyone know what's going on? What have I missed? Is my problem related to wide-character support? Any clues on what I can do to fix it? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...sorry for all the questions, but I'm at a loss at the moment (reading the man page about eightBitSelectTypes seemed to give some clues, but failed to say where to specify it that I could find). -- Bob Willcox | The amount of flak received on any subject is inversely bob@immure.com | proportional to the subject's true value.
