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.
