Package: xfonts-terminus Version: 4.30-2 Severity: minor

xterm, uxterm and rxvt all can't display hyphens and curved quotes (both
single and double). The xterms show the character n in place of hyphens
and these quotes, whereas rxvt shows â??. Urxvt works correctly.

my .Xdefaults:
XTerm*faceName: -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
XTerm*faceSize: 12
XTerm*background: #000
XTerm*foreground: #eee
UXTerm*faceName: Terminus
rxvt*font: -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
urxvt*font: -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

reproduce:
check the manpage of rsync in xterm; it should show: 
NAME
        rsync - a fast, versatile (...)

xterm shows:
NAME
        rsync n a fast, versatile (...)

2. try to compile a C program with an omitted semicolon:
$ gcc test.c
output should be (like in urxvt):
error: expected ‘;’ before ‘{’ token

but is:
error: expected n;n before n{n token

I filed this for the terminus-package because other fonts work alright.
