Thus, XTerm is not responsible for this problem. If you are using bash, please try version 2.05b . This problem is solved. If you are using tcsh, this problem is solved only for east Asian doublewidth characters but not for Thai. zsh seems to have no support for multibyte characters nor combinig/doublewidth characters. PS. The current CVS version of XTerm can handle combining characters of Thai in TIS-620 encoding, by using CVS version of luit. If you have to run softwares with such problems, this may partly help you. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ "Introduction to I18N" http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/ _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
