Re: euro symbol in xterm (fvwm)

On Sun, 30 Sep 2007 13:36:09 -0400, I asked how to select a font for xterms
under fvwm that would display UTF8 codes.

Thanks.  I eventually got this working with that link and another really
useful one on X fonts:

    http://www.klauser.ch/lxug/ch13.pdf

I did install xfonts-efont-unicode but in the end didn't need it.  Instead, I
set the default xterm font to this:

  -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1

which is in the 7x14.pcf.gz file from xfonts-base.  It passes the UTF tests
I've tried so far.  I'm not sure how this is different from the efont
version, namely:

  -efont-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1

other than a slightly different ptSz.
