 =head3 How do I compile the manual pages on my own?
 You need to have a recent version of perl installed as F</usr/bin/perl>,
-one that comes with F<pod2man>, F<pod2text> and F<pod2html>. Then go to
+one that comes with F<pod2man>, F<pod2text> and F<pod2xhtml> (from
-the doc subdirectory and enter C<make alldoc>.
+F<Pod::Xhtml>). Then go to the doc subdirectory and enter C<make alldoc>.
 =head3 Isn't rxvt-unicode supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?
 I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra
 bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see
 This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very early
 and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before main(), or
 things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should result in very
 little risk.
-=head3 On Solaris 9, many line-drawing characters are too wide.
-Seems to be a known bug, read
-L<http://nixdoc.net/files/forum/about34198.html>. Some people use the
-following ugly workaround to get non-double-wide-characters working:
-   #define wcwidth(x) wcwidth(x) > 1 ? 1 : wcwidth(x)
 =head3 I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all.
 Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> to be defined
 in your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it,
 whether it defines the symbol or not. C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> requires that
 The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in the
 system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry
 complete replacements for them :)
-=head3 I use Solaris 9 and it doesn't compile/work/etc.
-Try the diff in F<doc/solaris9.patch> as a base. It fixes the worst
-problems with C<wcwidth> and a compile problem.
 =head3 How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin?
 rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using
 the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no
 longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a
 old libW11 emulation.
 At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any multi-byte
 encodings (you might try C<LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8>), so you are likely limited
 to 8-bit encodings.
+=head3 Character widths are not correct.
+urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about
+the width of characters, so on systems with incorrect locale data you
+will likely get bad results. Two notorious examples are Solaris 9,
+where single-width characters like U+2514 are reported as double-width,
+and Darwin 8, where combining chars are reported having width 1.
+The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A
+possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like
+http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/wcwidth.c
 =head1 RXVT-UNICODE TECHNICAL REFERENCE
 The rest of this document describes various technical aspects of
 B<rxvt-unicode>. First the description of supported command sequences,
 requirements per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet
 support these extra characters, but Xft does.
 Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535
 even without this flag, but the number of such characters is
-limited to a view thousand (shared with combining characters,
+limited to a few thousand (shared with combining characters,
 see next switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them
 (input/output and cut&paste still work, though).
 =item --enable-combining (default: on)
 Add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake
 transparency to the term.
 =item --enable-fading (default: on)
-Add support for fading the text when focus is lost (requires C<--enable-transparency>).
+Add support for fading the text when focus is lost.
 =item --enable-tinting (default: on)
 Add support for tinting of transparent backgrounds (requires C<--enable-transparency>).
 A non-exhaustive list of features enabled by C<--enable-frills> (possibly
 in combination with other switches) is:
   MWM-hints
   EWMH-hints (pid, utf8 names) and protocols (ping)
+  urgency hint
   seperate underline colour (-underlineColor)
   settable border widths and borderless switch (-w, -b, -bl)
   visual depth selection (-depth)
   settable extra linespacing /-lsp)
-  iso-14755-2 and -3, and visual feedback
+  iso-14755 5.1 (basic) support
   tripleclickwords (-tcw)
   settable insecure mode (-insecure)
   keysym remapping support
   cursor blinking and underline cursor (-cb, -uc)
   XEmbed support (-embed)
 =item --enable-keepscrolling (default: on)
 Add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold
 the mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow.
+=item --enable-selectionscrolling (default: on)
+Add support for scrolling when the selection moves to the top or
+bottom of the screen.
 =item --enable-mousewheel (default: on)
 Add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5.
 =item --enable-slipwheeling (default: on)
 Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an
 accelerator) while the control key is held down.  This option
 requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified.
-=item --disable-new-selection
-Remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm.
-=item --enable-dmalloc (default: off)
-Use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging See
-L<http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/> for details If you use either this or the
-next option, you may need to edit src/Makefile after compiling to point
-DINCLUDE and DLIB to the right places.
-You can only use either this option and the following (should
-you use either) .
-=item --enable-dlmalloc (default: off)
-Use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version
-See L<http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html> for details.

 =item --enable-pointer-blank (default: on)
 Add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive.
