Hello, i want to use xterm in utf8 mode in locale de_DE.UTF-8. My system is Debian stable (2.2r4), with xfree 3.3.6 (my graphic card is not supported by xfree4). I have done this before on a suse 6.4 sytem (with the same problem).
The problem is: I cannot enter any "combining characters" (like ~,^,�,�). Even if i enter a space afterwards nothing appears in xterm. I can enter "����" and in the "normal" latin1 xterm there is no problem with ~ and so on. Keyboard layout is set to qwertz/German *with* deadkeys, i.e. in /etc/X11/XF86config: Section "Keyboard" Protocol "Standard" XkbRules "xfree86" XkbModel "pc102" XkbLayout "de" EndSection I downloaded xterm-164. When i configured it using --enable-wide-chars I got the lines (somewhere in the configure output): checking for Xutf8LookupString... no checking if you want support for input-method... yes checking if X libraries support input-method... yes checking if you want support for internationalization... yes checking if you want wide-character support... yes So i miss Xutf8LookupString... I set locale with "export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8" and started up the xterm. The X resources for xterm are set to: xterm*font: *-medium-*--15-*-iso10646-1 xterm*boldFont: *-bold-*--15-*-iso10646-1 xterm*font1: *-medium-*--10-*-iso10646-1 xterm*font2: *-medium-*--15-*-iso10646-1 xterm*font3: *-medium-*--18-*-iso10646-1 xterm*font4: *-medium-*--20-*-iso10646-1 All works well apart from the problem with the "combining characters". Can anyone give some help?! thank you Oliver -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
