Bug#514875: xterm: please make "eightBitInput: true" by default
Package: xterm
Version: 241-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
The Euro character doesn't display unless eightBitInput is true. Please
consider making it the default. It could be very confusing for newbies
having set up euro support properly for all apps, that xterm requires a
special switch (unlike other apps).
