Re: locale for Sun
Hi, Thanks for the replies. It turns out that I decided to compile the rxvt sources myself, rather than using the executable that came with the system. That fixed my problem. -- Mun

I used to use LANG=en_US.iso88591 MJ on the HP workstation, therefore I thought LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1 would MJ be the appropriate Sun setting. However, umlauts don't display MJ correctly. I get what looks like Chinese characters being displayed. I tried another test and fired up mutt in dtterm instead of rxvt. dtterm displayed the umlauts correctly, so I don't understand why the characters get messed up in rxvt when I use the same locale settings. BTW, here's the complete locale settings used in this experiment (but LANG takes precedence, right?): LANG=C LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-1 LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 LC_MESSAGES=C LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-1 LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-1 LC_TIME=en_US.ISO8859-1 -- Mun

Sounds like rxvt is using a font for a different character set than that specified by your locale settings.

For Solaris, I *highly* recommend the xterm source tree that Thomas Dickey maintains. http://dickey.his.com/xterm/ I've tried aterm, wterm, Eterm, native xterm, dtterm, rxvt, commandtool (et al.), gnome-terminal, and at least one other terminal app on Solaris (besides Terminal.app itself :)), and only this xterm has given me color with no pain. Well, except that it crashes whenever I try to use an xterm menu under en_US.ISO8859-15. That's a little weird, but I'm not too stuck on the euro symbol. And I see 15 new patch-levels since I last installed it, so emaybe that's resolved. -- -D.[EMAIL PROTECTED]NSITUniversity of Chicago
