From what I can tell, this is not a bug. Reasons: a) fc-cat does not display "gibberish", what you are seeing there is just about what it is supposed to look like b) using "XTerm.VT100.faceName: Terminus" does not select the font you actually want c) "XTerm.VT100.font: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1" selects the font you want... because you actually tell it to, unlike you did in the attempt you mentioned before. Read the man page. I think you should read up on how to select fonts in your preferred terminal emulator. While I don't know about mlterm, xterm has a somewhat strange unicode implementation, but it seems to work. Took me a while to figure things out for my own system (using rxvt-unicode). :) |
Hello, I've stumbled over this problem when the Terminus font wouldn't display unicode characters under mlterm or xterm if handled by xft (but did display them when handled by X). When doing "fc-cat | grep Terminus" I found out that the charset field displayed gibberish (so I guess that's why it couldn't select iso10646-1 out of the rest). It turned out that all my fonts were affected, not just Terminus, but I didn't notice it because Terminus was the only one which brought in non-unicode fonts. What's wrong? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I'm not sure. I remember it always happened, but I ignored since I thought its scope was limited. If you have Terminus and Xterm with TrueType support, you can add "XTerm.VT100.faceName: Terminus" to .Xdefaults, then type some character in xterm that's in the Unicode version, but not in the others, such as ƒ. Also, run fc-cat. Actual Results: You would see a box instead of an ƒ in xterm. Also, fc-cat would display something like: "ter-x16n.pcf.gz" 0 "Terminus:style=Regular:slant=0:weight=80:width=100:pixelsize=16:spacing=110:foundry=xos4:antialias=False:index=0:outline=False:scalable=False:charset= |>^1!|>^1!|>^1!P0oWQ |>^1!|>^1!|>^1!!!!%#|>^1!|>^1!|>^1!|%1ViEs8D6!2b&R !!!)$&olY4!3yva%V7@B!!K?&!!K?&6~ryb7{o>{ !!!.%!!!X/!!!)$ |>[gE|>^0{!!&TQ!$Ve?!!!1&|>^1!|>^1!|>^1! 9W@fi(){Nj|>T)!#%lqi!!#(E !(/HW 5H<IZ!!$/f!{{BZ!!#0G|>TE*Bao&!

Also, fc-cat should display a real charset. I'm running Gentoo on AMD64 with the latest stable packages, albeit configured with minimal options.
