158 <p>
159 </p>
160 <h3><a name="my_question_isn_t_answered_here__can_i_ask_a_human">My question isn't answered here, can I ask a human?</a></h3>
161 <p>Before sending me mail, you could go to IRC: <code>irc.freenode.net</code>,
162 channel <code>#rxvt-unicode</code> has some rxvt-unicode enthusiasts that might be
163 interested in learning about new and exciting problems (but not FAQs :).</p>
164 <p>
165 </p>
166 <h3><a name="does_it_support_tabs__can_i_have_a_tabbed_rxvtunicode">Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode?</a></h3>
167 <p>Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a
168 simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these should
169 give you tabs:</p>
170 <pre>
171 rxvt -pe tabbed</pre>
172 <pre>
173 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,tabbed</pre>
174 <p>It will also work fine with tabbing functionality of many window managers
175 or similar tabbing programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be
176 embedded into other programs, as witnessed by <em>doc/rxvt-tabbed</em> or
177 the upcoming <code>Gtk2::URxvt</code> perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt
178 (murxvt) terminal as an example embedding application.</p>
179 <p>
180 </p>
181 <h3><a name="how_do_i_know_which_rxvtunicode_version_i_m_using">How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using?</a></h3>
182 <p>The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). Also the escape
183 sequence <code>ESC [ 8 n</code> sets the window title to the version number. When
184 using the rxvtc client, the version displayed is that of the
185 daemon.</p>
186 <p>
187 </p>
188 <h3><a name="rxvtunicode_uses_gobs_of_memory__how_can_i_reduce_that">Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that?</a></h3>
189 <p>Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for something you
190 don't use. One thing you should try is to configure out all settings that
191 you don't need, for example, Xft support is a resource hog by design,
192 when used. Compiling it out ensures that no Xft font will be loaded
193 accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find a font for your characters.</p>
194 <p>Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger
195 scrollback buffers: Without <code>--enable-unicode3</code>, rxvt-unicode will use
196 6 bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to almost a
197 kilobyte per line. A scrollback buffer of 10000 lines will then (if full)
198 use 10 Megabytes of memory. With <code>--enable-unicode3</code> it gets worse, as
199 rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell.</p>

202 <h3><a name="how_can_i_start_rxvtd_in_a_racefree_way">How can I start rxvtd in a race-free way?</a></h3>
203 <p>Try <code>rxvtd -f -o</code>, which tells rxvtd to open the
204 display, create the listening socket and then fork.</p>
205 <p>
206 </p>
207 <h3><a name="how_do_i_distinguish_wether_i_m_running_rxvtunicode_or_a_regular_xterm_i_need_this_to_decide_about_setting_colors_etc_">How do I distinguish wether I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm? I need this to decide about setting colors etc.</a></h3>
208 <p>rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable ``COLORTERM'', so you can
209 check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, slrn,
210 Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide whether or
211 not to use color.</p>
212 <p>
213 </p>
214 <h3><a name="how_do_i_set_the_correct__full_ip_address_for_the_display_variable">How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable?</a></h3>
215 <p>If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and have enabled
216 insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script
217 snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode
218 wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) then
219 the COLORTERM variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a
220 regular xterm.</p>
221 <p>Courtesy of Chuck Blake &lt;<a href="mailto:cblake@BBN.COM">cblake@BBN.COM</a>&gt; with the following shell script
222 snippets:</p>
223 <pre>
224 # Bourne/Korn/POSIX family of shells:
225 [ ${TERM:-foo} = foo ] &amp;&amp; TERM=xterm # assume an xterm if we don't know
226 if [ ${TERM:-foo} = xterm ]; then
227 stty -icanon -echo min 0 time 15 # see if enhanced rxvt or not
228 echo -n '^[Z'
229 read term_id
230 stty icanon echo
231 if [ &quot;&quot;${term_id} = '^[[?1;2C' -a ${DISPLAY:-foo} = foo ]; then
232 echo -n '^[[7n' # query the rxvt we are in for the DISPLAY string
233 read DISPLAY # set it in our local shell

238 <h3><a name="how_do_i_compile_the_manual_pages_on_my_own">How do I compile the manual pages on my own?</a></h3>
239 <p>You need to have a recent version of perl installed as <em>/usr/bin/perl</em>,
240 one that comes with <em>pod2man</em>, <em>pod2text</em> and <em>pod2html</em>. Then go to
241 the doc subdirectory and enter <code>make alldoc</code>.</p>
242 <p>
243 </p>
244 <h3><a name="isn_t_rxvtunicode_supposed_to_be_small_don_t_all_those_features_bloat">Isn't rxvt-unicode supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?</a></h3>
245 <p>I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra
246 bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see
247 that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being
248 compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS) after startup. Even
249 with <code>--disable-everything</code>, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many
250 features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are
251 already in use in this mode.</p>
252 <pre>
253 text data bss drs rss filename
254 98398 1664 24 15695 1824 rxvt --disable-everything
255 188985 9048 66616 18222 1788 urxvt --disable-everything</pre>
256 <p>When you <a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> (which _is_ unfair, as this involves xft
257 and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my
258 libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so.</p>
259 <pre>
260 text data bss drs rss filename
261 163431 2152 24 20123 2060 rxvt --enable-everything
262 1035683 49680 66648 29096 3680 urxvt --enable-everything</pre>
263 <p>The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian
264 encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else
265 and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those
266 encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++
267 compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of
268 memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a
269 few megabytes of RSS. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when
270 not used.</p>
271 <p>Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one,
272 a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more
273 memory.</p>
274 <p>Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this
275 still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal
276 (21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra
277 43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of
278 startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares
279 extremely well *g*.</p>
280 <p>

282 <h3><a name="why_c____isn_t_that_unportable_bloated_uncool">Why C++, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?</a></h3>
283 <p>Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had
284 to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction
285 of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even
286 shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without C++.</p>
287 <p>My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but in
288 the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits
289 are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix
290 domain sockets, which are all less portable than C++ itself.</p>
291 <p>Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs
292 in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in
293 C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large libraries, but this is
294 not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is what rxvt links against on my
295 system with a minimal config:</p>
296 <pre>
297 libX11.so.6 =&gt; /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000)

300 /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000)</pre>

315 <h3><a name="i_can_t_get_transparency_working__what_am_i_doing_wrong">I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong?</a></h3>
316 <p>First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt-unicode, so
317 you are mostly on your own. Do not bug the author about it (but you may
318 bug everybody else). Also, if you can't get it working consider it a rite
319 of passage: ... and you failed.</p>
320 <p>Here are four ways to get transparency. <strong>Do</strong> read the manpage and option
321 descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt-unicode. Really, do it!</p>
322 <p>1. Use inheritPixmap:</p>
323 <pre>
324 Esetroot wallpaper.jpg
325 rxvt -ip -tint red -sh 40</pre>
326 <p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting
327 support, or you are unable to read.</p>
328 <p>2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables you
329 to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever
330 your picture with gimp or any other tool:</p>
331 <pre>
332 convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm
333 rxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background</pre>
334 <p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack XPM and Perl support, or you
335 are unable to read.</p>
336 <p>3. Use an ARGB visual:</p>
337 <pre>
338 rxvt -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc</pre>
339 <p>This requires XFT support, and the support of your X-server. If that
340 doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. ARGB visuals aren't
341 there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the neccessary
342 bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, but that
343 doesn't mean that your WM has the required kludges in place.</p>
344 <p>4. Use xcompmgr and let it do the job:</p>
345 <pre>
346 xprop -frame -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c \
347 -set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0xc0000000</pre>
348 <p>Then click on a window you want to make transparent. Replace <code>0xc0000000</code>
349 by other values to change the degree of opacity. If it doesn't work and
350 your server crashes, you got to keep the pieces.</p>
351 <p>
352 </p>
353 <h3><a name="why_do_some_chinese_characters_look_so_different_than_others">Why do some chinese characters look so different than others?</a></h3>
354 <p>This is because there is a difference between script and language --
355 rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is,
356 as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first
357 sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for
358 display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many
359 chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
360 non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
361 -- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
362 chinese characters that are also in the japanese font.</p>
363 <p>The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
364 list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
365 a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
366 first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.</p>
367 <p>In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at
368 runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different
369 fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this
370 has been designed yet).</p>
371 <p>Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see <a href="#can_i_switch_the_fonts_at_runtime">Can I switch the fonts at runtime?</a> later in this document).</p>
372 <p>
373 </p>
374 <h3><a name="why_does_rxvtunicode_sometimes_leave_pixel_droppings">Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings?</a></h3>
375 <p>Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character
376 size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might
377 contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid
378 these characters. For characters that are just ``a bit'' too wide a special
379 ``careful'' rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters.</p>
380 <p>All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes,
381 however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding
382 box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to
383 ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these
384 cases).</p>
385 <p>It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, freetype,
386 or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using
387 the <code>-lsp</code> option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you
388 might be forced to use a different font.</p>
389 <p>All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their bounding
390 box data is correct.</p>

393 <h3><a name="how_can_i_keep_rxvtunicode_from_using_reverse_video_so_much">How can I keep rxvt-unicode from using reverse video so much?</a></h3>
394 <p>First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminal settings
395 (<code>TERM=rxvt-unicode</code>), which will get rid of most of these effects. Then
396 make sure you have specified colours for italic and bold, as otherwise
397 rxvt-unicode might use reverse video to simulate the effect:</p>
398 <pre>
399 URxvt.colorBD: white
400 URxvt.colorIT: green</pre>
401 <p>
402 </p>
403 <h3><a name="some_programs_assume_totally_weird_colours__red_instead_of_blue___how_can_i_fix_that">Some programs assume totally weird colours (red instead of blue), how can I fix that?</a></h3>
404 <p>For some unexplainable reason, some rare programs assume a very weird
405 colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than the standard
406 8 colours (rxvt-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, of course, to fix
407 these programs not to assume non-ISO colours without very good reasons.</p>
408 <p>In the meantime, you can either edit your <code>rxvt-unicode</code> terminfo
409 definition to only claim 8 colour support or use <code>TERM=rxvt</code>, which will
410 fix colours but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode features.</p>
411 <p>
412 </p>
413 <h3><a name="can_i_switch_the_fonts_at_runtime">Can I switch the fonts at runtime?</a></h3>
414 <p>Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which has the same
415 effect as using the <code>-fn</code> switch, and takes effect immediately:</p>
416 <pre>
417 printf '\e]50;%s\007' &quot;9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic&quot;</pre>
418 <p>This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer a
419 japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, where
420 japanese fonts would only be in your way.</p>
421 <p>You can think of this as a kind of manual ISO-2022 switching.</p>
422 <p>
423 </p>
424 <h3><a name="why_do_italic_characters_look_as_if_clipped">Why do italic characters look as if clipped?</a></h3>
425 <p>Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For
426 example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font <code>xft:Bitstream Vera Sans
427 Mono</code> completely fails in it's italic face. A workaround might be to
428 enable freetype autohinting, i.e. like this:</p>
429 <pre>
430 URxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true
431 URxvt.boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true</pre>
432 <p>
433 </p>
434 <h3><a name="can_i_speed_up_xft_rendering_somehow">Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow?</a></h3>
435 <p>Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, as
436 it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to disable
437 antialiasing (by appending <code>:antialias=false</code>), which saves lots of
438 memory and also speeds up rendering considerably.</p>
439 <p>
440 </p>
441 <h3><a name="rxvtunicode_doesn_t_seem_to_antialias_its_fonts__what_is_wrong">Rxvt-unicode doesn't seem to anti-alias its fonts, what is wrong?</a></h3>
442 <p>Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to
443 fall back to it's default font search list it will prefer X11 core
444 fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It has
445 antialiasing disabled for most of them, because the author thinks they
446 look best that way.</p>
447 <p>If you want antialiasing, you have to specify the fonts manually.</p>
448 <p>
449 </p>
450 <h3><a name="what_s_with_this_bold_blink_stuff">What's with this bold/blink stuff?</a></h3>
451 <p>If no bold colour is set via <code>colorBD:</code>, bold will invert text using the
452 standard foreground colour.</p>
453 <p>For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the
454 text blink when compiled with <code>--enable-blinking</code>. with standard
455 colours. Without <code>--enable-blinking</code>, the blink attribute will be
456 ignored.</p>
457 <p>On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set high-intensity
458 foreground/background colors.</p>
459 <p>color0-7 are the low-intensity colors.</p>
460 <p>color8-15 are the corresponding high-intensity colors.</p>

514
515 =head3 How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts?</pre>
516 <pre>
517
518 Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is
519 fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of
520 your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want
521 to display.</pre>
522 <pre>
523
524 B&lt;rxvt-unicode&gt; makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement
525 font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks
526 bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that don't
527 resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial
528 intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe
529 the font that the characters it claims to contain indeed look correct.</pre>
530 <pre>
531
532 In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list,
533 e.g.:</pre>
534 <pre>
535
536 rxvt -fn basefont,font2,font3...</pre>
537 <pre>
538
539 When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base
540 font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the
541 next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this
542 search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X-server.</pre>
543 <pre>
544
545 The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the base
546 font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, which
547 must be the same due to the way terminals work.</pre>

568 <p>You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
569 <strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource to the empty string, which also keeps
570 rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.</p>
571 <p>If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
572 identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
573 <strong>PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS</strong> in the <code>rxvtperl(3)</code> manpage. For
574 example, to disable the <strong>selection-popup</strong> and <strong>option-popup</strong>, specify
575 this <strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource:</p>
576 <pre>
577 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup</pre>
578 <p>This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
579 extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
580 scrollback search mode is triggered by <strong>M-s</strong>. You can move it to any
581 other combination either by setting the <strong>searchable-scrollback</strong> resource:</p>

616 does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), then
617 rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method.</p>

638 <h3><a name="what_s_with_the_strange_backspace_delete_key_behaviour">What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour?</a></h3>
639 <p>Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the
640 BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following
641 question) there are two standard values that can be used for
642 Backspace: <code>^H</code> and <code>^?</code>.</p>
643 <p>Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian
644 policy of using <code>^?</code> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct
645 choice :).</p>
646 <p>Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value
647 of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't
648 started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the
649 system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in &lt;termios.h&gt;, will
650 be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting).</p>
651 <p>For starting a new rxvt-unicode:</p>
652 <pre>
653 # use Backspace = ^H
654 $ stty erase ^H
655 $ rxvt</pre>
656 <pre>
657 # use Backspace = ^?
658 $ stty erase ^?
659 $ rxvt</pre>
660 <p>Toggle with <code>ESC [ 36 h</code> / <code>ESC [ 36 l</code>.</p>
661 <p>For an existing rxvt-unicode:</p>
662 <pre>
663 # use Backspace = ^H
664 $ stty erase ^H
665 $ echo -n &quot;^[[36h&quot;</pre>
666 <pre>
667 # use Backspace = ^?
668 $ stty erase ^?
669 $ echo -n &quot;^[[36l&quot;</pre>
670 <p>This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but
671 if you use Backspace = <code>^H</code>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value
672 properly reflects that.</p>
673 <p>The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem.
674 To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete
675 key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute
676 (<code>ESC [ 3 ~</code>) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo.</p>
677 <p>Some other Backspace problems:</p>
678 <p>some editors use termcap/terminfo,
679 some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H,
680 GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help.</p>

729 <h3><a name="why_doesn_t_rxvtunicode_read_my_resources">Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources?</a></h3>
730 <p>Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X
731 applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your OS loads
732 resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will
733 ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read
734 <em>$HOME/.Xdefaults</em> when no resources are attached to the display.</p>
735 <p>If you have or use an <em>$HOME/.Xresources</em> file, chances are that
736 resources are loaded into your X-server. In this case, you have to
737 re-login after every change (or run <em>xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources</em>).</p>
738 <p>Also consider the form resources have to use:</p>
739 <pre>
740 URxvt.resource: value</pre>
741 <p>If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of
742 specifying resources), make sure you understand wether and why it
743 works. If unsure, use the form above.</p>

747 <p>The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available
748 as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often arises).</p>
749 <p>The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this can
750 be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp):</p>
751 <pre>
752 REMOTE=remotesystem.domain
753 infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE &quot;cat &gt;/tmp/ti &amp;&amp; tic /tmp/ti&quot;</pre>
754 <p>... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system,</p>
755 <p>If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set
756 <code>TERM=rxvt</code> or even <code>TERM=xterm</code>, and live with the small number of
757 problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different
758 colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice
759 quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though.</p>
760 <p>If you always want to do this (and are fine with the consequences) you
761 can either recompile rxvt-unicode with the desired TERM value or use a
762 resource to set it:</p>
763 <pre>
764 URxvt.termName: rxvt</pre>
765 <p>If you don't plan to use <strong>rxvt</strong> (quite common...) you could also replace
766 the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one.</p>

769 <h3><a name="tic_outputs_some_error_when_compiling_the_terminfo_entry_"><code>tic</code> outputs some error when compiling the terminfo entry.</a></h3>

778 <h3><a name="i_need_a_termcap_file_entry_">I need a termcap file entry.</a></h3>
779 <p>One reason you might want this is that some distributions or operating
780 systems still compile some programs using the long-obsoleted termcap
781 library (Fedora Core's bash is one example) and rely on a termcap entry
782 for <code>rxvt-unicode</code>.</p>
783 <p>You could use rxvt's termcap entry with resonable results in many cases.
784 You can also create a termcap entry by using terminfo's infocmp program
785 like this:</p>
786 <pre>
787 infocmp -C rxvt-unicode</pre>
788 <p>Or you could use this termcap entry, generated by the command above:</p>

852 <p>If you encounter strange problems like typing an accented character but
853 getting two unrelated other characters or similar, or if program output is
854 subtly garbled, then you should check your locale settings.</p>
855 <p>Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same <code>LC_CTYPE</code> setting as the
856 programs. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the <a href="#item_c"><code>C</code></a> locale, while the
857 login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the locale to
858 something else, e.g. <code>en_GB.UTF-8</code>. Needless to say, this is not going to work.</p>
859 <p>The best thing is to fix your startup environment, as you will likely run
860 into other problems. If nothing works you can try this in your .profile.</p>
861 <pre>
862 printf '\e]701;%s\007' &quot;$LC_CTYPE&quot;</pre>
863 <p>If this doesn't work, then maybe you use a <code>LC_CTYPE</code> specification not
864 supported on your systems. Some systems have a <code>locale</code> command which
865 displays this (also, <code>perl -e0</code> can be used to check locale settings, as
866 it will complain loudly if it cannot set the locale). If it displays something
867 like:</p>
868 <pre>

870 <p>Then the locale you specified is not supported on your system.</p>

878 <p>
879 </p>
880 <h3><a name="is_there_an_option_to_switch_encodings">Is there an option to switch encodings?</a></h3>
881 <p>Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no
882 specific ``utf-8'' mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about
883 UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O.</p>
884 <p>The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting
885 the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all
886 applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width
887 and code number. This mechanism is the <em>locale</em>. Applications not using
888 that info will have problems (for example, <code>xterm</code> gets the width of
889 characters wrong as it uses it's own, locale-independent table under all
890 locales).</p>
891 <p>Rxvt-unicode uses the <code>LC_CTYPE</code> locale category to select encoding. All
892 programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the
893 interpretation of characters.</p>
894 <p>Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor
895 is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like.</p>
896 <p>On most systems, the content of the <code>LC_CTYPE</code> environment variable
897 contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed
898 locale. Common names for locales are <code>en_US.UTF-8</code>, <code>de_DE.ISO-8859-15</code>,
899 <code>ja_JP.EUC-JP</code>, i.e. <code>language_country.encoding</code>, but other forms
900 (i.e. <code>de</code> or <code>german</code>) are also common.</p>
901 <p>Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for
902 the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings,
903 i.e. <code>de_DE.UTF-8</code> and <code>ja_JP.UTF-8</code> are the normally same to
904 rxvt-unicode.</p>
905 <p>If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start
906 rxvt-unicode with the correct <code>LC_CTYPE</code> category.</p>
907 <p>
908 </p>
909 <h3><a name="can_i_switch_locales_at_runtime">Can I switch locales at runtime?</a></h3>
910 <p>Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which sets
911 rxvt-unicode's idea of <code>LC_CTYPE</code>.</p>
912 <pre>
913 printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS</pre>
914 <p>See also the previous answer.</p>
915 <p>Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in
916 one locale (e.g. <code>de_DE.UTF-8</code>) but some programs don't support it
917 (e.g. UTF-8). For example, I use this script to start <code>xjdic</code>, which
918 first switches to a locale supported by xjdic and back later:</p>
919 <pre>
920 printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS
921 xjdic -js
922 printf '\e]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8</pre>
923 <p>You can also use xterm's <code>luit</code> program, which usually works fine, except
924 for some locales where character width differs between program- and
925 rxvt-unicode-locales.</p>
926 <p>
927 </p>
928 <h3><a name="my_input_method_wants__some_encoding__but_i_want_utf8__what_can_i_do">My input method wants &lt;some encoding&gt; but I want UTF-8, what can I do?</a></h3>
929 <p>You can specify separate locales for the input method and the rest of the
930 terminal, using the resource <code>imlocale</code>:</p>
931 <pre>
932 URxvt.imlocale: ja_JP.EUC-JP</pre>
933 <p>Now you can start your terminal with <code>LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8</code> and still
934 use your input method. Please note, however, that you will not be able to
935 input characters outside <code>EUC-JP</code> in a normal way then, as your input
936 method limits you.</p>
937 <p>
938 </p>
939 <h3><a name="rxvtunicode_crashes_when_the_x_input_method_changes_or_exits_">Rxvt-unicode crashes when the X Input Method changes or exits.</a></h3>
940 <p>Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, as the XIM protocol is racy by
941 design. Applications can avoid some crashes at the expense of memory
942 leaks, and Input Methods can avoid some crashes by careful ordering at
943 exit time. <strong>kinput2</strong> (and derived input methods) generally succeeds,
944 while <strong>SCIM</strong> (or similar input methods) fails. In the end, however,
945 crashes cannot be completely avoided even if both sides cooperate.</p>
946 <p>So the only workaround is not to kill your Input Method Servers.</p>

967 <h3><a name="i_am_maintaining_rxvtunicode_for_distribution_os_xxx__any_recommendation">I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any recommendation?</a></h3>
968 <p>You should build one binary with the default options. <em>configure</em>
969 now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them
970 runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them,
971 except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should
972 be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in
973 the future) depends on it.</p>
974 <p>You should not overwrite the <code>perl-ext-common</code> snd <code>perl-ext</code> resources
975 system-wide (except maybe with <code>defaults</code>). This will result in useful
976 behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty
977 <code>perl-ext-common</code> resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the
978 perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it.</p>
979 <p>If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal
980 one with <code>--disable-everything</code> (very useful) and a maximal one with
981 <a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of

986 <p>It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly
987 install urxvt with privileges necessary for your OS now.</p>
988 <p>When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork
989 into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some
990 systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges
991 immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep
992 privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains
993 things as perl interpreters, which might be ``helpful'' to attackers).</p>
994 <p>This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very early
995 and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before main(), or
996 things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should result in very
997 little risk.</p>

1009 <p>Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol <code>__STDC_ISO_10646__</code> to be defined
1010 in your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it,
1011 wether it defines the symbol or not. <code>__STDC_ISO_10646__</code> requires that
1012 <strong>wchar_t</strong> is represented as unicode.</p>
1013 <p>As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symobl nor
1014 does it support it. Instead, it uses it's own internal representation of
1015 <strong>wchar_t</strong>. This is, of course, completely fine with respect to standards.</p>
1016 <p>However, that means rxvt-unicode only works in <code>POSIX</code>, <code>ISO-8859-1</code> and
1017 <code>UTF-8</code> locales under FreeBSD (which all use Unicode as <strong>wchar_t</strong>.</p>
1018 <p><code>__STDC_ISO_10646__</code> is the only sane way to support multi-language
1019 apps in an OS, as using a locale-dependent (and non-standardized)
1020 representation of <strong>wchar_t</strong> makes it impossible to convert between
1021 <strong>wchar_t</strong> (as used by X11 and your applications) and any other encoding
1022 without implementing OS-specific-wrappers for each and every locale. There
1023 simply are no APIs to convert <strong>wchar_t</strong> into anything except the current
1024 locale encoding.</p>
1025 <p>Some applications (such as the formidable <strong>mlterm</strong>) work around this
1026 by carrying their own replacement functions for character set handling
1027 with them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or doing multiple
1028 conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the OS implements
1029 encodings slightly different than the terminal emulator).</p>
1030 <p>The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in the
1031 system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry
1032 complete replacements for them :)</p>

1040 <h3><a name="how_can_i_use_rxvtunicode_under_cygwin">How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin?</a></h3>
1041 <p>rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using
1042 the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no
1043 longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a
1044 single font). I recommend starting the X-server in <code>-multiwindow</code> or
1045 <code>-rootless</code> mode instead, which will result in similar look&amp;feel as the
1046 old libW11 emulation.</p>
1047 <p>At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any multi-byte
1048 encodings (you might try <code>LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8</code>), so you are likely limited
1049 to 8-bit encodings.</p>

2037 <h1><a name="configure_options">CONFIGURE OPTIONS</a></h1>
2038 <p>General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration
2039 hasn't been tested well. Either try with <a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> or use
2040 the <em>./reconf</em> script as a base for experiments. <em>./reconf</em> is used by
2041 myself, so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you should
2042 always report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc

2078 Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups (<code>eu</code>, <code>vn</code>
2079 are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character sets). These
2080 codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts, they are not required
2081 for Xft fonts, although having them compiled in lets rxvt-unicode choose
2082 replacement fonts more intelligently. Compiling them in will make your
2083 binary bigger (all of together cost about 700kB), but it doesn't increase
2084 memory usage unless you use a font requiring one of these encodings.

2097 Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using

2106 </dd>
2107 <dd>
2108 <p>Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above
2109 65535 (the basic multilingual page). This increases storage
2110 requirements per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet
2111 support these extra characters, but Xft does.</p>
2112 </dd>
2113 <dd>
2114 <p>Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points &gt;65535
2115 even without this flag, but the number of such characters is
2116 limited to a view thousand (shared with combining characters,

2124 Enable automatic composition of combining characters into
2125 composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text
2126 where accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is
2127 done by using precomposited characters when available or creating
2128 new pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists.
2129 </dd>
2130 <dd>
2131 <p>Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed
2132 characters is somewhat limited (the 6400 private use characters will be
2133 (ab-)used). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists.</p>
2134 </dd>
