--a8sldprk+5E/pDEv Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Since I posted the link to that document, I'd better add a comment. I'm using xterm myself, right now as I type this, in fact, and it works fine. And it's been fine since I put those notes together many months ago, i.e., it's been working on several earlier versions of the system. I have: unset LANG LC_COLLATE=POSIX LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 In .Xdefaults: xterm*vt100.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 xterm*vt100.utf8Fonts.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 This font has all the UTF-8 characters in the utf8demo.txt file, and is fine on a 1600x1200 display. For a smaller, say 1280x1024, display, I use: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1 but note that that font does not have all of the characters in the utf8demo.txt file, so some things display as dotted boxes. You'll have to experiment with different fonts to find one that has the characters you need. Of course, to get to use this usefully for things like email, you'll need to get ncurses and xterm working and then also a mailer and an editor. Mutt and nvi work fine in UTF-8 for me. -jr --a8sldprk+5E/pDEv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iQDVAwUBRJ/wz0kkqUax7f6FAQJEsAYAlbibhsEY8mWNgWJnnq4U13Qh/14M7FoB EF5/ndRwaKkPwN4qLu5BfFhVaoU4fMJ61SAHpBKvGX4Hq0LRaOiCGF3xGg0nA8rv fK0Pski/muXQmVDWFPXpWw5IUEGX7VZIQyw6+iPtOHDruqCFa4PZS0ZO2U1XbrVY pt73Gi+HM30CY3tAbenC1/jztSb4UPI9O02rvVu59+qXlhuQ6xKnNl+S8rfF5CAY /ejarjNzR2cXbIYKFesaB9aOYPB/DIvr =WSu7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --a8sldprk+5E/pDEv--
