I just want to make things clear: as far as I know (i.e. unless someone else is working on a local branch and not merging), there is no "current effort". There was an effort, indeed by myself, to have actual support for UTF-* (or to be more accurate to be any-encoding-friendly). But this effort strike is long gone. Since then, I went on a years-long wandering around the world and had to stop active contributions to FLOSS. Now I started again, but mrxvt is not my priority project anymore. And I have to be clear: since for me as well, UTF-8 is mandatory (as I said, year-long wandering. In the meantime, I lived in Japan, Korea and crossed many other countries), I don't use mrxvt as my main terminal anymore either. I'd love to, and I'd love to have the time to work on better encoding support again, but I just can't make the time. I'm not even sure of the quality of my code on this UTF-8 branch anymore. That was years ago, and the first thing I'd do if I were to work on this again would be to check what I had been doing and where I was hoping to go with this. So don't hold your breath waiting for UTF support. That's what I want to say. Now I keep love for mrxvt and I'd rather it not go completely to waste, which is why I take the time to keep it afloat, but hoping that someone will come up and take over. The first steps would be to make contributions (we regularly have people asking to take over without even showing any code. I'd like the opposite: show us some patches that we accept, and then we will gladly give ownership). > I realize there are things to be said for "one thing at a time", but > if there is a wish-list available, I'd like to add this. It looks like there is no much development effort in mrxvt, only maintenance effort (we fix bugs and merge external contributions). So the wish-list is just a wish itself. Let the word out though: if anyone wants to work on mxvt and make development alive again, we are really interested! Jehan > The last time I used mrxvt, it did not use X resources.
