the only problem with eterm currently, is that it doesn't support utf-8.


Speaking of utf-8, I just tested Aterm and noticed a REALLY Bad utf-8 related issue (in Fedora Core 4). I got aterm from the Fedora Extras, it is version aterm-1.0.0-1.fc4

Whereas Eterm will show some "junk" in the screen in place of UTF-8 characters, Aterm shows black nothing there, making the reader think there is just nothing. Try it with "man startx" and you'll see what I mean.

The problem is solved by typing

$ export LANG=en_US

in either Eterm or Aterm after it has started, or by changing the environment for all programs in /etc/sysconfig/i18n.

I don't want to change the environment for all programs, but I would sure like a way to force all Eterms to work under LANG=en_US, but, to my surprise, neither of these will work:

$ LANG=en_US Eterm

or

$ export LANG=en_US
$ Eterm

Under both of these, the LANG remains the UTF-8 variety:

$ env | grep LANG
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Humphf!

on a related note, what is the default font of eterm?

With --enable-auto-encoding, it varies.  Without it, it's "fixed."
