Hi Mike,
thank you for the feedback.
I too use UTF8 for years, if not a decade–especially as my name
already includes a non-7-bit character :-) I use rxvt-unicode for
qutie some time now, though.
I've added the additional xterm config option to T2.
Committed revision 34436.
If you have news regarding the kernel NLS config let us know!
Greetings,
René

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.
