Re: 8-bit characters
PROBLEM: 8-bit characters (such as those in 'man latin1') show as
chinese in krxvt, and as pseudo-greek on console (alt-ctl-f1).
SOLVED -- yippee!
CONSOLE: consolechars -f <pickafont>
where <pickafont> is any item mentioned (sans '.psf.gz' extension)
in the /usr/share/consolefonts/ directory -- e.g.:
consolechars -f lat1-16
KRXVT: use rxvt instead (!)
krxvt is rxvt with support for chinese characters (man
krxvt)! rxvt is latin-chars only, i gather.
all is right with the world.
