In the meantime, I ran another test to see if I could get this to work with a different emulator in the following context: $ uname -a ... 2.6.26-1-686 #1 SMP Fri Mar 13 18:08:45 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux $ dpkg -l xorg ii xorg 1:7.3+18 X.Org X Window System $ dpkg -l rxvt-unicode ii rxvt-unicode 9.05-1+lenny1 .. emulator with Unicode support [Not really watertight, but to be on the safe side, I ran my tests under a newly-created user so as to try to keep things separate from my usual environment - no elinks config file, X resource file.. etc.] I did the following: 1. Started rxvt with the unicode version of the terminus font¹ 2. Fired up ELinks v0.12pre5 3. Verified that ELinks had set the charset to UTF-8 Unicode 4. Checked 16 colors and UTF-8 I/O under "Terminal Options" 5. Pointed ELinks to http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/hebrew.html Upon scrolling, I experienced the same character “remanence” in random places as described in my previous report. I also noted the “tearing” effect with the terminal’s black background showing through ELinks’ white background. As before, Ctrl-L eliminated the artifacts, except for the black spots. I tried rxvt + unifont with similar results. Are you able to view this particular page without problems? If so, please let me know what emulator and font I should be using. Thanks, CJ ¹ $ rxvt-unicode -fn "-xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal–12-120-72-72-c-60-iso10646-1" +sb -fg white -bg black _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
