xterm, bitchx, latin2, rxvt
Standard potatoe's bitchx package doesn't support non iso8859-1 charsets
so I had to recompile bitchx from source. I did it using potatoe's
source package. I modified include/config.h: undefined LATIN1 and
defined CHRSET_CUSTOM. My iso8859-2 fonts are now displayed properly
(unfortunately some characters are not; as far as I know there is no
easy way to fix it (?) so that's not the point) on the text console or
in the rxvt. The problem is with xterm. When I run BX in it many chars
are completely screwed up (like an '@' becomes a paragraph sign, '['
changes into 'A' with umlaut and many more). What's wrong? BTW: many
iso8859-2 fonts don't look good in terminals like rxvt: there are no
frames (for example in mc). When I try a bigger font (like:
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2
insted of:
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2
) everything is fine. However both fonts look good in xterm. Why is
that?
