Hi,
I have the latest T2 svn version and Xorg environment (compiled with T2). I tried to use UTF8 locale and appropriate charset (in this case special scandinavian letters) to work in Xorg and xterm window. After trying "everything" in xorg and xterm config files I found out that by default T2 compiles xterm package without --enable-wide-chars configuation option. The fix was a configuration specific pkg_xterm.conf file and following line there . $confdir/$pkg.conf var_append confopt ' ' '--enable-wide-chars' After this change xterm shows correct special chars (non-ascii 7 bit chars) because T2 has proper unicode fonts already. I think that this change might be good to have in master xterm.conf package file because UTF8 is nowadays pretty standard stuff in Xorg. Next thing I need to check is whether Linux kernel CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT should be UTF8 also instead of iso8859-1. However, I dont know all potential side effects of this change, so dont dare to do it yet. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/xterm-and-utf8-locale-and-charset-%28compilation-fix-or-trick%29-tp25806429p25806429.html Sent from the T2 mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [email protected] with a subject of: unsubscribe t2
