Re: xiterm can't be started
Hello,
Thanks for your bug report. XFree86 does not seem to have zh_HK.UTF8
or zh_HK.UTF-8 listed yet. You may try zh_CN.UTF-8 or zh_TW.UTF-8
instead. Or, easier yet, zh_TW.Big5 and zh_CN.GB2312 are readily
supported. For example, you may first start "xcinterm-big5" or
"xcinterm-gb", and then in that shell, start xiterm. You may finetune
the fontset setting with the -fn option (see
/usr/share/doc/xiterm/README* in the 20020913-1 version. (I forgot to
put it there before. My apologies.)
The segmentation fault appear to be a bug though. I could reproduce
the segfault when I tried "xiterm -fn asdf" (and of course, there is no
font called "asdf"). I should report to the author.
Config file? I don't know. :-) You see, I am pretty new the program
myself too.
Anyhow, I'll be sending some patches (contributed by other Debian
users/developers) upstream, and I'll ask the author then. (Feel free
to contact the upstream author yourself too. Jiro SEKIBA is cool! :-)
Cheers,
Anthony
