Re: [dev] [st] fonts and diacriticals
Yo Nick: I moved because I wanted to catch the action in tip -- last change in xft was 7 months ago via me. My font line in config.h is precisely what you have. I'm a little confused why broken default X font stuff (if that's the case) would be the culprit here and yet cause no headaches in dwm. Maybe I'll just go back to xft branch. 2012/9/17 Nick suckless-...@njw.me.uk: Morning Peter, st-0.2.1 works fine for simple diacritics (such as those in your email signature), at least with font: -*-terminus-medium-r-*-*-*-220-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* I'd guess it's the default x / st font settings working against you. I know that isn't much of an answer. Why have you moved off the xft branch? I've been working with rather more complex characters than accented latin, and st-xft has been a godsend.

I also recently moved off the xft branch of st and to the standing tip, and I've noticed that I can't for the life of me get diacriticals to display. They display fine in dwm and dmenu, urxvt, and xft version of st. So, what am I missing? My config.h is config.def.h. Considering the manpage contains an accent in the name of the author, I'm guessing it is ME and not ST.

Re: [dev] [st] fonts and diacriticals
To confirm, I just tried st tip (main branch), and the diacritics from this email displayed without issue. Hopefully somebody with more skill than being able to type works for me may be able to help you. Nick

Yes, and ls -la ~/.termcap/s/ has st and st-256colors, as it should (and I nuked the old ones). 2012/9/17 Nick suckless-...@njw.me.uk: On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 11:17:54AM -0400, Peter Hartman wrote: I should add that when I launch st I get: peterjh@trilx220 st $ st erresc: unknown csi ESC[?17;0;64c I don't.

Re: [dev] [st] fonts and diacriticals
I use also the tip and I can use diacritics (I usually have to write a lot of them in spanish). The font I use is -*-terminus-medium-r-*-*-*-160-72-72-*-80-*-*. Could you use the -f option and sent the session to us?.
Re: [dev] [st] fonts and diacriticals
TERM inside st = st-256color TERM outside st (i.e. in urxvt where I launch it) is = screen xlsfonts indicates terminus is there, etc. xset q also indicates it is there.

Vargas Caballero k...@shike2.com: peterjh@trilx220 st $ st erresc: unknown csi ESC[?17;0;64c st doesn't implement this sequence, so it is a bit strange that you receive always this sequence only for starting it.

Re: [dev] [st] fonts and diacriticals
TERM inside st = st-256color Can you send the output of 'infocmp st-256color'? Here's the st -f output: http://sprunge.us/IfXW Uhmmm, but in this file there isn't any diacritic :S. I need some of them in order to try see where can be the problem.

[dev] [st] fonts and diacriticals
Change all those little LC_ and LANG vars over now convinces st to behave. The problem seems that st suppouse the input keyboard is a utf8 device, and in the case you use a non utf8 locale it detects non ascii characters as first byte of a multibyte utf8 character (if you have good luck, because it is possible it detects it as an incorrect utf8 number). This is a new bug in st (at least the temporary work around is easy).
