Forgot to answer that question:
I'm sure xrdb doesn't have an incfluence here. But locale/environment
was the right guess, although different than I have expected (ssh doesn't
seem to pass the $LANG environment variable by default:
All those boxes have LANG=en_US.UTF-8, except the Sid amd64 Xen DomU
which still has LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15. (Should change that. :-)
If I set LANG=en_US.UTF-8 there, too, it works remotely from there, too:
env LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ratmenu -font
'-misc-fixed-medium-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-60-iso10646-1' `perl -le 'print map chr,
226, 152, 186, 226, 134, 146'` 'echo bla'
So now I have no more case where it doesn't work. ;-)
Can you check your environment?
Regards, Axel
