172Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a

184It will also work fine with tabbing functionality of many window managers

143The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available 197.PP
144as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often arises).
145.Sp
146The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this can
147be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp):
148.Sp
149.Vb 2
150\& REMOTE=remotesystem.domain
151\& infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti"
152.Ve
153.Sp
154\&... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system,
155.Sp
156If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set
157\&\f(CW\*(C`TERM=rxvt\*(C'\fR or even \f(CW\*(C`TERM=xterm\*(C'\fR, and live with the small number of
158problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different
159colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice
160quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though.
161.Sp
162If you always want to do this you can either recompile rxvt-unicode with
163the desired \s-1TERM\s0 value or use a resource to set it:
164.Sp
165.Vb 1
166\& URxvt.termName: rxvt
167.Ve
168.Sp
169If you don't plan to use \fBrxvt\fR (quite common...) you could also replace
170the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one.

231Make sure you are using \f(CW\*(C`TERM=rxvt\-unicode\*(C'\fR. Some pre-packaged
232distributions (most notably Debian GNU/Linux) break rxvt-unicode
233by setting \f(CW\*(C`TERM\*(C'\fR to \f(CW\*(C`rxvt\*(C'\fR, which doesn't have these extra
234features. Unfortunately, some of these (most notably, again, Debian
235GNU/Linux) furthermore fail to even install the \f(CW\*(C`rxvt\-unicode\*(C'\fR terminfo

245If you encounter strange problems like typing an accented character but
246getting two unrelated other characters or similar, or if program output is
247subtly garbled, then you should check your locale settings.
248.Sp
249Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR setting as the
250programs. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the \f(CW\*(C`C\*(C'\fR locale, while the
251login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the locale to
252sth. else, e.h. \f(CW\*(C`en_GB.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR. Needless to say, this is not going to work.
253.Sp
254The best thing is to fix your startup environment, as you will likely run
255into other problems. If nothing works you can try this in your .profile.

259.Ve
260.Sp
261If this doesn't work, then maybe you use a \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR specification not
262supported on your systems. Some systems have a \f(CW\*(C`locale\*(C'\fR command which
263displays this. If it displays sth. like:
264.Sp
265.Vb 1
266\& locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: ...
267.Ve
268.Sp
269Then the locale you specified is not supported on your system.

271If nothing works and you are sure that everything is set correctly then
272you will need to remember a little known fact: Some programs just don't
273support locales :(

277.IP "How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts?" 4
278.IX Item "How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts?"
279.PD
280Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is
281fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of
282your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want
283to display.
284.Sp
285\&\fBrxvt-unicode\fR makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement
286font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks
287bad. Many fonts have totally strange characters that don't resemble the
288correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial intelligence
289to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe the font that
290the characters it contains indeed look correct.
291.Sp
292In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list,
293e.g.:
294.Sp
295.Vb 1
296\& @@RXVT_NAME@@ -fn basefont,font2,font3...
297.Ve
298.Sp
299When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base
300font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the
301next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this
302search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X\-server.
303.Sp
304The only limitation is that all the fonts must not be larger than the base
305font, as the base font defines the principal cell size, which must be the
306same due to the way terminals work.
307.IP "Why do some chinese characters look so different than others?" 4
308.IX Item "Why do some chinese characters look so different than others?"
309This is because there is a difference between script and language \*(--
310rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output
311is, as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode
312first sees a japanese character, it might choose a japanese font for
313it. Subsequent japanese characters will take that font. Now, many chinese
314characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
315non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
316\&\*(-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
317japanese characters that are also chinese.
318.Sp
319The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
320list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
321a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
322first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.
323.Sp
324In the future it might be possible to switch preferences at runtime (the
325internal data structure has no problem with using different fonts for
326the same character at the same time, but no interface for this has been
327designed yet).
328.IP "Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings?" 4
329.IX Item "Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings?"
330Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character
331size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might
332contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid
333these characters. For characters that are just \*(L"a bit\*(R" too wide a special
334\&\*(L"careful\*(R" rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters.
335.Sp
336All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes,
337however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding
338box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to
339ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these
340cases).
341.Sp
342It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, freetype,
343or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using
344the \f(CW\*(C`\-lsp\*(C'\fR option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you
345might be forced to use a different font.
346.Sp
347All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their bounding
348box data is correct.
349.IP "My Compose (Multi_key) key is no longer working." 4
350.IX Item "My Compose (Multi_key) key is no longer working."
351The most common causes for this are that either your locale is not set
352correctly, or you specified a \fBpreeditStyle\fR that is not supported by
353your input method. For example, if you specified \fBOverTheSpot\fR and
354your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose keys)
355does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), then
356rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method.
357.Sp
358In this case either do not specify a \fBpreeditStyle\fR or specify more than
359one pre-edit style, such as \fBOverTheSpot,Root,None\fR.

380.IX Item "Some programs assume totally weird colours (red instead of blue), how can I fix that?"
381For some unexplainable reason, some programs (i.e. irssi) assume a very
382weird colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than the
383standard 8 colours (rxvt\-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, of
384course, to fix these programs not to assume non-ISO colours without very
385good reasons.
386.Sp
387In the meantime, you can either edit your \f(CW\*(C`urxvt\*(C'\fR terminfo definition to
388only claim 8 colour support or use \f(CW\*(C`TERM=rxvt\*(C'\fR, which will fix colours
389but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode features.
390.IP "I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all." 4
391.IX Item "I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all."
392Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol \f(CW\*(C`_\|_STDC_ISO_10646_\|_\*(C'\fR to be defined
393in your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it,
394wether it defines the symbol or not. \f(CW\*(C`_\|_STDC_ISO_10646_\|_\*(C'\fR requires that
395\&\fBwchar_t\fR is represented as unicode.
396.Sp
397As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symobl nor
398does it support it. Instead, it uses it's own internal representation of
399\&\fBwchar_t\fR. This is, of course, completely legal.
400.Sp
401However, \f(CW\*(C`_\|_STDC_ISO_10646_\|_\*(C'\fR is the only sane way to support
402multi-language apps in an \s-1OS\s0, as using a locale-dependent (and
403non\-standardized) representation of \fBwchar_t\fR makes it impossible to
404convert between \fBwchar_t\fR (as used by X11 and your applications) and any
405other encoding without implementing OS-specific-wrappers for each and
406every locale. There simply are no APIs to convert \fBwchar_t\fR into anything
407except the current locale encoding.
408.Sp
409Some applications (such as the formidable \fBmlterm\fR) work around this
410by carrying their own replacement functions for character set handling
411with them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or doing multiple
412conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the \s-1OS\s0 implements
413encodings slightly different than the terminal emulator).
414.Sp
415The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in the
416system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry
417complete replacements.

424Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no

426\&\s-1UTF\-8\s0 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O.
427.Sp
428The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting
429the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all
430applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width and
431code number. This mechanism is the \fIlocale\fR.
432.Sp
433Rxvt-unicode uses the \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR locale category to select encoding. All
434programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the
435interpretation of characters.
436.Sp
437Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor
438is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like.
439.Sp
440On most systems, the content of the \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR environment variable
441contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed
442locale. Common names for locales are \f(CW\*(C`en_US.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`de_DE.ISO\-8859\-15\*(C'\fR,
443\&\f(CW\*(C`ja_JP.EUC\-JP\*(C'\fR, i.e. \f(CW\*(C`language_country.encoding\*(C'\fR, but other forms
444(i.e. \f(CW\*(C`de\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`german\*(C'\fR) are also common.
445.Sp
446Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for
447the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings,
448i.e. \f(CW\*(C`de_DE.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`ja_JP.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR are the same for rxvt\-unicode.
449.Sp
450If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start
451rxvt-unicode with the correct \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR category.

310The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian
311encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else
312and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those
313encodings. The \s-1BSS\s0 size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++
314compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of
315memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a
316few megabytes of \s-1RSS\s0. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of \s-1RSS\s0 even when
317not used.
318.PP
319Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one,
320a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more

336shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without \*(C+.
337.PP
338My personal stance on this is that \*(C+ is less portable than C, but in

429Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character

435All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes,
436however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding

602.IX Subsection "How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts?"
603.PP
604Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is
605fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of
606your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want
607to display.
608.PP
609\&\fBrxvt-unicode\fR makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement
610font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks
611bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that don't
612resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial
613intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe
614the font that the characters it claims to contain indeed look correct.
615.PP
616In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list,
617e.g.:
618.PP
619.Vb 1
620\& @@URXVT_NAME@@ -fn basefont,font2,font3...
621.Ve
622.PP
623When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base
624font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the
625next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this
626search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X\-server.
627.PP
628The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the base
629font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, which
630must be the same due to the way terminals work.

635This is because there is a difference between script and language \*(--
636rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is,
637as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first
638sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for
639display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many
640chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
641non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
642\&\*(-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
643chinese characters that are also in the japanese font.
644.PP
645The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
646list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
647a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
648first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.
649.PP
650In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at
651runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different
652fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this
653has been designed yet).
654.PP
655Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see \*(L"Can I switch the fonts at runtime?\*(R" later in this document).

1018while the second font is actually the \f(CW\*(C`9x15bold\*(C'\fR from XFree4/XOrg. The
1019bold version has less chars than the medium version, so I use it for rare

1070.PP
1071Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X
1072applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your \s-1OS\s0 loads
1073resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will
1074ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read
1075\&\fI$HOME/.Xdefaults\fR when no resources are attached to the display.
1076.PP
1077If you have or use an \fI$HOME/.Xresources\fR file, chances are that

1108\&\f(CW\*(C`TERM=rxvt\*(C'\fR or even \f(CW\*(C`TERM=xterm\*(C'\fR, and live with the small number of
1109problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different
1110colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice
1111quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though.
1112.PP
1113If you always want to do this (and are fine with the consequences) you

1121If you don't plan to use \fBrxvt\fR (quite common...) you could also replace

1231Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR setting as the
1232programs. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the \f(CW\*(C`C\*(C'\fR locale, while the
1233login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the locale to
1234something else, e.g. \f(CW\*(C`en_GB.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR. Needless to say, this is not going to work.

1245displays this (also, \f(CW\*(C`perl \-e0\*(C'\fR can be used to check locale settings, as

1264\fIIs there an option to switch encodings?\fR
1265.IX Subsection "Is there an option to switch encodings?"
1266.PP
1267Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no
1268specific \*(L"utf\-8\*(R" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about
1269\&\s-1UTF\-8\s0 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O.
1270.PP
1271The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting
1272the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all
1273applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width
1274and code number. This mechanism is the \fIlocale\fR. Applications not using
1275that info will have problems (for example, \f(CW\*(C`xterm\*(C'\fR gets the width of
1276characters wrong as it uses it's own, locale-independent table under all
1277locales).
1278.PP
1279Rxvt-unicode uses the \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR locale category to select encoding. All
1280programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the
1281interpretation of characters.
1282.PP
1283Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor
1284is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like.
1285.PP
1286On most systems, the content of the \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR environment variable
1287contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed
1288locale. Common names for locales are \f(CW\*(C`en_US.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`de_DE.ISO\-8859\-15\*(C'\fR,
1289\&\f(CW\*(C`ja_JP.EUC\-JP\*(C'\fR, i.e. \f(CW\*(C`language_country.encoding\*(C'\fR, but other forms
1290(i.e. \f(CW\*(C`de\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`german\*(C'\fR) are also common.
1291.PP
1292Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for
1293the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings,
1294i.e. \f(CW\*(C`de_DE.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`ja_JP.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR are the normally same to
1295rxvt\-unicode.
1296.PP
1297If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start
1298rxvt-unicode with the correct \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR category.

1314(e.g. \s-1UTF\-8\s0). For example, I use this script to start \f(CW\*(C`xjdic\*(C'\fR, which
1315first switches to a locale supported by xjdic and back later:

1545For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence \f(CW\*(C`ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST\*(C'\fR, the syntax
1546of \f(CW\*(C`Pt\*(C'\fR can be used for a variety of tasks:
1547.PP
1548At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
1549linked-list of other such menuBars.
1550.PP
1551The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
1552turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.
1553.PP
1554The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
1555input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.
1556.PP
1557The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
1558constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the
1559menuBars.
1560.PP
1561The first step is to use the tag \fB[menu:\f(BIname\fB]\fR which creates
1562the menuBar called \fIname\fR and allows access. You may now or menus,
1563subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag \fB[done]\fR to set the
1564menuBar access as \fBreadonly\fR to prevent accidental corruption of the
1565menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag
1566\&\fB[menu]\fR, make the alterations and then use \fB[done]\fR
