Thanks for your report.

aterm unicode support will never be implemented according to the
developers and this Debian report http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=216302#30

Thanks and don't hesitate to submit any new bug.

** Changed in: aterm (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

** Summary changed:

- aterm fails to display/format accented characters
+ aterm doesn't support unicode

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: aterm
  
  I launch an "aterm" using the latest Edgy.
  In the resulting shell, I call "man" on some program, for instance:
  
   man xterm
  
  The man page is not properly rendered!  See, for instance, its second 
(standard-length) page. Many characters (accents, etc) are displayed as junk.
  I believe aterm should correctly interpret xterm stuff, rendering colours, 
curses, etc as xterm would.  Eterm  has the same problem on my system.
+ 
+ == Workaround == 
+ set your locale (except UTF8) before running aterm e.g. 
+ LANG=fr_FR.ISO-8859-1 LC_ALL=fr_FR.ISO-8859-1 aterm
