5. At exactly what point is luit supposed to be installed?
luit is optional. You don't have to install it. What does it do?
luit is used by xterm when ( ( the "-lc" switch is present ) or ( "vt100*locale:
true" resource is set ) or ( the current locale is CJK ) ) and ( the current
locale is a non-UTF-8 one ). In such case, xterm talks to luit using UTF-8, and
luit talks to the application using the locale encoding.
luit is not used in UTF-8 locales, but is essential in non-UTF-8 locales when
Xft fonts are used (because xterm doesn't understand anything except UTF-8 with
Xft without luit).
