At the time I switched to UTF-8 I was using xterm too. It dodn't worked as expected. I noticed that there's "uxterm" (installed with xterm). I tried it and I think it was a little bit better than plain xterm itself. But maybe it just defaults to what you did by hand above. I was not satisified and switched to the gnome terminal. It works without problems for me (but I didn't tried the example you tried). Summary: maybe most people just use something else in case they need/want UTF-8, and they don't bother to fight with xterm because they just want something which works. So don't be surprised if this is a bug in xterm. Bye, Alexander. -- 'Why?' he [Rincewind] said. The world is going to end. 'What, again?'
