Wondering if anyone has some multilingual experience with terminal-based
applications such as mutt for mail, text-mode browsers - ELinks here...
irc clients, etc. and would be able to provide some advice.
How should I set up my terminal - xterm - and what might be a good
unicode fixed font that could make the experience more true to life?
I am using xfce4-terminal (modern but lightweight Gtk+ application) and
Deja Vu Mono and all my foreign spam is rendered nicely in mutt. :) I
think you just have to install font packages for cyrillic, chinese etc.
and xfce4-terminal picks them up automatically.
