In leafpad (gui application) I can type in japanese and when I switch to latin dead keys are functional; the same doesn't work in rxvt-unicode, hence the dirty hack (I run debian wheezy). My problem affects every terminal emulator I tried (xterm, urxvt, lxterm) and in this aspect it differs from OP's one (hence I will stop hijacking his thread). _______________________________________________ rxvt-unicode mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schmorp.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rxvt-unicode
