1.1 |
Sketchy overview of the details: |
2 |
|
|
|
3 |
pcg |
1.5 |
- gcc-3.x is probably required to compile this release, g++-3.x, too, as it |
4 |
|
|
has been re-written in C++ (and a corresponding version of libstdc++). |
5 |
pcg |
1.1 |
|
6 |
|
|
- the options used in the ./reconf script should work. everything else |
7 |
pcg |
1.5 |
might work and might be broken. |
8 |
pcg |
1.1 |
|
9 |
pcg |
1.3 |
- wchar_t MUST be UNICODE or ISO-10646-1 on your system, or various things |
10 |
|
|
will break down. On GNU/Linux, this is true, on Solaris, this is true |
11 |
|
|
only for "@ucs" locales, but you should have plenty of them. |
12 |
|
|
|
13 |
|
|
- rxvt will use unicode internally, but does input/output in the current |
14 |
pcg |
1.5 |
locale. so to get a utf-8 terminal, use "LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 rxvt" or |
15 |
pcg |
1.3 |
equivalent. |
16 |
|
|
|
17 |
|
|
- you can specify a different locale to be used for your input method |
18 |
|
|
using the imLocale ressource or switch, e.g.: |
19 |
|
|
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 rxvt -imlocale ja_JP.EUC-JP |
20 |
pcg |
1.1 |
|
21 |
pcg |
1.5 |
- keyboard input is limited by the selected X locale. |
22 |
|
|
|
23 |
pcg |
1.1 |
- "-fn" commandline switch and *.font ressource accepts a comma |
24 |
|
|
seperated list of fontnames: |
25 |
|
|
|
26 |
|
|
x:9x15bold a x11 font |
27 |
|
|
9x15bold the same |
28 |
|
|
xft:Andale Mono a xft font |
29 |
|
|
xft:Andale Mono:pixelsize=20 |
30 |
|
|
|
31 |
pcg |
1.3 |
- the _first_ font in the list selects the cell width/height. All other |
32 |
|
|
fonts must be smaller or same sized, or they will be ignored or worse. |
33 |
pcg |
1.5 |
xft fonts will automatically be rescaled, x11-fonts, too, if their |
34 |
|
|
size is not specified in the XLFD. |
35 |
pcg |
1.1 |
|
36 |
|
|
- the fonts will be tried in the order given when searching for a font |
37 |
|
|
to display a specific character. if you are e.g. mainly interested in |
38 |
|
|
japanese you might want to put a japanese font first to get the ascii |
39 |
|
|
characters in it. If you are mainly interested in a text terminal and |
40 |
|
|
only want to display other characters you should put a ascii/is8859 text |
41 |
|
|
font first (e.g. "9x15bold") and let rxvt sort it out. |
42 |
|
|
|
43 |
pcg |
1.3 |
- xft fonts require gobs of memory and generally are slow. try not to |
44 |
pcg |
1.5 |
antialias them ("Font:antialias=false") when possible. Often looks |
45 |
|
|
better, too, as they then match other fonts in weight. |
46 |
pcg |
1.1 |
|
47 |
pcg |
1.3 |
- src/defaultfont.C lists the fallback fonts that are tried when a |
48 |
|
|
character cannot be displayed with the current list of fonts. |
49 |
pcg |
1.1 |
|
50 |
pcg |
1.5 |
- using bold fonts for the bold attribute is not supported by xft |
51 |
|
|
and will not be supported by rxvt-unicode, either, even for normal x11 |
52 |
|
|
fonts. |
53 |
|
|
|
54 |
|
|
- normal bold text will use reverse video unless the colorBD resource has |
55 |
|
|
been set. coloured text will use high-intensity colours for bold. |
