Hi, I also have updated around XIM bugs with more subdued tone. As long as you type ASCII characters only, you may not hit bugs (I hope.)

The other terminals > have font and mouse-wheel handling issues. Hmmm... gnome-terminal may be bloated but we can use other lighter terminal programs. I don't have any issue displaying English/French/Chinese/Japanese/... So I am curious why you are struggling with font and terminal. Are you using UTF-8 locale? Even if you want to use text file encoded in Latin-1 mostly, it will be better to set up system as UTF-8 and use editor functionality to access Latin-1 encoded files. My terminal uses: Backspace key generates ASCII DEL Delete key generates ESCAPE sequence Encoding Unicode -- UTF-8 Ambiguous width characters: narrow Custom font: Hack Nerd Font Regards, Osamu
