X-BeenThere: freebsd-x11@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.18 Precedence: list List-Id: X11 on FreeBSD -- maintaining and support List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 28 May 2014 07:07:48 -0000 I looked in my fonts directories and /usr/ports/x11-fonts/ and couldn't find anything identifiable as utf8-capable. What brings this up is all those annoying funny apostrophes that show as i�\200\231m currently running into problem when trying to �\200\234make install�\200\235 qmail with the following options en This is an example copied and pasted in an xterm from pkgsrc-users@netbsd.org emailing list, though the problem with those funny apostrophes not rendering properly is just as annoying with FreeBSD emailing lists. I use mutt on uxterm, which I thought supported utf8. Do I need gnome-terminal? But that will do no better if the needed font isn't there. I tried mlterm some time back, but that proved unworkable as mutt always showed a blank screen, running invisibly, using foreground color same as background color. When I built xorg on FreeBSD-current, I didn't remove/reject any fonts offered in the dialog4ports screens. When I send email, I always use plain regular apostrophes (ASCII 39) and quotes (ASCII 34). I tried ls -lR /usr/local/libX11/fonts/ | grep "utf" also for "UTF" and even "en_US" and got nothing. I am also curious if there are any utf8 fonts availoable for text console (syscons or newcons, but mainly newcons). Tom
