After searching far and wide and reading all the HOWTOs etc. I'm still at a loss as to how to make a simple copy/paste work within xterm and between xterm and XEmacs.
If I cat a utf-8 encoded XML file containing Russian and it displays just fine. If I select a single word by left double clicking and paste with a middle click I see a mixture of '@', '^' and a few Cyrillic characters. If I paste into XEmacs 21.4 in a buffer with the buffer file coding system set to utf-8 I see a string of '?'. Interestingly I can paste the selection into Windows Notepad and Word and it displays just fine too. Am I missing something very basic in my configuration/setup or is this a known problem? I'm wondering whether my X server is not up to the task or perhaps are there some x resources I should be setting? I am running the xterm XFree86 4.2.0(165) that comes with Linux Redhat 8 with display support from Hummingbird eXceed X Server 7.1 on Windows NT 4.0 and XEmacs 21.4 (patch 8) "Honest Recruiter" [Lucid] (i386-redhat-linux, Mule) of Mon Aug 26 2002 on astest. I'm invoking xterm as: xterm -u8 -fn '-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1' % locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Phil. --- Phillip Farber, Information Retrieval Specialist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Digital Library Production Service (http://www.umdl.umich.edu/) Hatcher Graduate Library, University of Michigan 308 Hatcher North, Ann Arbor, MI 48104-1205
