Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I cannot comment if (4) is good. My concern was that the
luit-compatible
terminfo settings for line drawing characters are in ncurses, but
not in
xterm.
Result:
terminfo settings in both xterm and ncurses are compatible with OLD
xterm
and luit from X11R6.8.2, so I don't see immediate problems with "make
install-ti"
But something is very broken in the new luit. E.g.,
* the pty race is fixed in 6.9.0 but not 7.0.0
* the standard smacs and rmacs sequences are not recognized in luit
mode.
Testcase: in "xterm -lc", echo -e '\x1b(0qqq\x1b(B'. "qqq" is the wrong
result. A horizontal line is the correct result.
Well...ATM we don't link against luit. You have to explicitly pass
--enable-luit to configure. The man page is over descriptive, enough to
cause confustion as to what is needed, but '-u8' and '-en UTF-8' both
work as expected. In my case, LC_ALL=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US,
LANG=en_US.UTF-8.
If LC_ALL is set, other variables have no effect. If LC_CTYPE is set, it
overrides LANG for the purposes of character classification and
conversion only. You can thus unset anything except LANG.
BTW, instead of the current locale related text, it is a good idea to
include a pointer to LFS, because one of the two texts necessarily lags
behind the other.
Seriously, I found two very old threads that may or may not be of
interest, unfortunately, I don't see where they have been resolved either:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xfree-i18n&m=101688477003932&w=2
http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2004/06/msg00566.html
Both are fixed in ncurses-5.5, but luit is buggy and quirky enough to
make this fix pointless for Xorg-7.0.0. Half-seriously, I recommend not
installing xterm at all, because its xft interface is useless without
luit, and its core bitmap font interface is against our plan to remove
obsolete core fonts and toolkits that use them (aka GTK1, Xaw and
Lesstif). Also it doesn't integrate well with input method software.
More seriously, Xorg-6.8.2 + luit patch + ncurses-5.5 is the last known
working combination.
As for the reason why it works in patched Xorg-6.8.2 (I might be wrong
about 6.9.0, let me recheck) and not in patched 7.0.0, I really don't
know. The source of luit is identical, so the problem must be with some
library.
BTW the 6.2-pre3 CD contains no xterm.
