If you liked Eterm but need UTF8, you might want to try rxvt-unicode. The config is a little inconvenient (uses .Xresources), but it's otherwise very nice. It can even display multiple fonts (both bitmapped and truetype) at the same time, so you can get plain ascii characters from one font and higher unicode characters from another. As a nice bonus, urxvt has a daemon mode, so multiple terminals can run as a single process. Try "urxvtcd". It greatly reduces memory use. At the moment, I have 67 urxvt windows open, with translucent backgrounds, and it's using 11.4 MiB RAM. That's only 174 KiB per window. A single instance of Gnome-terminal with a black background takes 26.6 MiB on the same system. -- Scott
