It's all said. Eterm fails to draw "é", "è" or "à" characters still I recently compiled it with unicode support; my system migrated to utf-8 since a long time and gnome-terminal and xterm handle locales perfectly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # type "à" in an Eterm Actual Results: [ not drawable - when I copy and paste it, it gives "à" again in firefox. ] Expected Results: draw an "à". none
ebuild version? emerge --info? Locale settings?
Sorry for the lack of info, I was talking about x11-terms/eterm-0.9.3-r4 , current stable sort. Is fr_FR.UTF-8 my locale?

eterm does not support unicode ... yeah it sucks, but that's how it is :)
...any idea what the "unicode" USE flag does, then?
