Me neither. But I should be clear that this problem wasn't really Emacs; it was xterm's. > The fact that "uxterm" is not called "xterm" makes it ignore the .Xdefaults > settings for "xterm". Well, I'm using Gnome, and it ignores .Xdefaults entirely. You're supposed to use .Xresources. I don't know why they renamed it. But uxterm seems to pick up my .Xresources settings. In Debian 3.1 r0a, uxterm is a shell script wrapper around xterm; it ends up invoking "xterm -class UXTerm -title uxterm -u8". It also futzes with your locale if necessary. > Also you need to be careful about the fonts that you use with it. Yes. Fonts are a pain. Debian has disabled bitmapped fonts to some extent, which made my conversion even more interesting. Thanks for your scripts, though: I'll salt them away for ideas when I have the time. (None of them work for me unchanged -- how typical. :-) I am starting to give up on running Emacs-over-xterm, and am going more with a straight X connection using OpenSSH's compression. It might be adequate with my home DSL line, though it's clearly not as zippy as Emacs-over-xterm was. I think this will fix that particular UTF-8 glitch (so that I can be ready for the next one :-). _______________________________________________ bug-gnulib mailing list bug-gnulib@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnulib
