I'm testing UTF8 performance on my Etch machine. Everything seems fine with one exception: the Euro symbol doesn't display in my xterms (under fvwm).
If I go with iceweasel to http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/multilingual1.html a Euro symbol is nicely displayed. If I copy and paste the symbol into a file, and run od on it, I get the octal sequence 342 202 254. This is presumably the UTF8 code for the Euro symbol. I can also generate the code by feeding groff the code "\(Eu". Unlike iceweasel, though, the xterm doesn't display the Euro symbol. (In general, I think it displays only those symbols that were defined in ISO8859-1, although I am testing the UTF8 codes for those symbols. It does not correctly display the ISO8859-1 codes unless I convert them to UTF8 with iconv.) Xorg.0.log shows some errors about non-existing directories under /usr/share/fonts/X11, and then sets FontPath to: /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc, /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled, /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled, /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1, /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi, /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi The problem is likely in my old ~/.fvwm2rc, which shows: Style * Font -adobe-times-bold-r-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-* There is no adobe-times font on my system, so I don't know what font is being substituted, or which font I should substitute. So how do I find a default font for my xterms that will display the UTF8 Euro symbol? Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
