Hi! After upgrade to 11.0-BETA2 from 10.3-RELEASE, I notice that my xfce desktop does not display properly some specific characters in terminal with latin1 enconding (I have a spanish keyboard). More precisely, in my xterm (installed via the ordinary pkg install xterm) the exclamation symbol pointing up (=C2=A1=C2=A1=C2=A1) is not displ= ayed properly, but instead the symbol code <00a1> is printed. Please take a look the screenshot: http://picpaste.com/exclamation-L21PZhNY.png As you can see, when hit the =C2=A1 key on the xterm terminal, the symbol <00a1> appears, although you can save such character and display it rightly by mean of cat, vim, more, less, etc. The issue is focussed exclusively when you type the character on the terminal and you use latin1 encoding, and it is not limited to xterm but to any other terminal. The only workaround is to open the terminal (does not matter which one) with UTF-8 encoding. In this case, the symbol is properly displayed. This behaviour does not exhibit in 10.3-RELEASE. Any comment or advice will be wellcome. Best regards.
