Yes I did all of that - I always read OS docs and FAQ's. The xterm issue
is weird, with some fonts I can see chinese/korean/japanese but not
Arabic - with other fonts it's the reverse. The best way i've found is
not to use a font for any terminal emulators and let it use its default.
I see more unicode charaters that way that by using any other fonts.
It's not a major issue for me, just a little niggle. Using urxvt seems
to cover most of the charset issues; but I like to use as much of the
default installation as possible. If I could get [u]xterm to do this
then i'd have no need to install urxvt.
I know that 99.9% of the time it's user config screw-ups, not the
software. I've clearly missed something or done something wrong. Like I
said, i'll just use urxvt.
Cheers for replies and advice anyway.
Jamie.
