 =head1 RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT
 Unlike the original rxvt, B<rxvt-unicode> stores all text in Unicode
 internally. That means it can store and display most scripts in the
 world. Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very difficult,
 especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written scripts
 like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules,
 like tibetan or devenagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these
 scripts. Most other scripts, latin, cyrillic, kanji, thai etc. should work
-fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are left-to-right scripts, such
+fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are right-to-left scripts, such
 as hebrew: B<rxvt-unicode> adopts the view that bidirectional algorithms
 belong into the application, not the terminal emulator (too many things --
 such as cursor-movement while editing -- break otherwise), but that might
 change.
 If you are looking for a terminal that supports more exotic scripts, let

+me recommend C<mlterm>, which is a very user friendly, lean and clean
 terminal emulator. In fact, the reason rxvt-unicode was born was solely
 because the author couldn't get C<mlterm> to use one font for latin1 and
 another for japanese.
 Therefore another design rationale was the use of multiple fonts to
 display characters: The idea of a single unicode font which many other

 a client/daemon pair that lets you open any number of terminal windows
 from within a single process, which makes startup time very fast and
 drastically reduces memory usage. See @@RXVT_NAME@@d(1) (daemon) and

 smaller, but not (in general) larger. A (hopefully) reasonable default
 font list is always appended to it. See resource B<font> for more details.

 It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file

 reverse tab (Shift-Tab).
 It is also possible to specify the colour values of B<foreground>,
 B<background>, B<cursorColor>, B<cursorColor2>, B<colorBD>, B<colorUL> as
 a number 0-15, as a convenient shorthand to reference the colour name of
 color0-color15.
