I was google searching for documentation and could not find much on rxvt.org. The best documentation seems to be in the man page.
I just did a cygwin update. Are we off topic here because this is really an XFree86 topic? I cannot figure out how to run the non-X version of rxvt but I remember selecting it from the cygwin installation program. I'd be glad to use that if I could make it work. Anyway, according to the man page, there are several code pages none of which are utf8. I was hoping to print the Cyrillic alphabet with this program: perl -wle "binmode STDOUT, q[:utf8]; print chr() for 0x410 .. 0x430;" > >Hi Siegfried, > >Install rxvt and use that instead.

I tried specifying the font "Arial Unicode MS" which contains fonts for Chinese and Russian. It seemed to use the font but would not correctly print the Russian alphabet.
