241
242=head3 Why do some chinese characters look so different than others?
243
244This is because there is a difference between script and language --
245rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is,
246as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first
247sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for
248display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many
249chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
250non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
251-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
252chinese characters that are also in the japanese font.
253
254The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
255list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
256a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
257first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.
258
259In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at
260runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different
261fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this
262has been designed yet).
263
264Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see L<Can
265I switch the fonts at runtime?> later in this document).

641=head2 Terminal Configuration 666=head2 Terminal Configuration
667
668=head3 Can I see a typical configuration?
669
670The default configuration tries to be xterm-like, which I don't like that
671much, but it's least surprise to regular users.
672
673As a rxvt or rxvt-unicode user, you are practically supposed to invest
674time into customising your terminal. To get you started, here is the
675author's .Xdefaults entries, with comments on what they do. It's certainly
676not I<typical>, but what's typical...
677
678 URxvt.cutchars: "()*,<>[]{}|'
679 URxvt.print-pipe: cat >/tmp/xxx
680
681These are just for testing stuff.
682
683 URxvt.imLocale: ja_JP.UTF-8
684 URxvt.preeditType: OnTheSpot,None
685
686This tells rxvt-unicode to use a special locale when communicating with
687the X Input Method, and also tells it to only use the OnTheSpot pre-edit
688type, which requires the C<xim-onthespot> perl extension but rewards me
689with correct-looking fonts.
690
691 URxvt.perl-lib: /root/lib/urxvt
692 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,selection-autotransform,selection-pastebin,xim-onthespot,remote-clipboard
693 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+)
694 URxvt.selection.pattern-1: ^(/[^:]+):\
695 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
696 URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
697
698This is my perl configuration. The first two set the perl library
699directory and also tells urxvt to use a large number of extensions. I
700develop for myself mostly, so I actually use most of the extensions I
701write.
702
703The selection stuff mainly makes the selection perl-error-message aware
704and tells it to convert perl error messages into vi-commands to load the
705relevant file and go tot he error line number.
706
707 URxvt.scrollstyle: plain
708 URxvt.secondaryScroll: true
709
710As the documentation says: plain is the preferred scrollbar for the
711author. The C<secondaryScroll> configures urxvt to scroll in full-screen
712apps, like screen, so lines scrolled out of screen end up in urxvt's
713scrollback buffer.
714
715 URxvt.background: #000000
716 URxvt.foreground: gray90
717 URxvt.color7: gray90
718 URxvt.colorBD: #ffffff
719 URxvt.cursorColor: #e0e080
720 URxvt.throughColor: #8080f0
721 URxvt.highlightColor: #f0f0f0
722
723Some colours. Not sure which ones are being used or even non-defaults, but
724these are in my .Xdefaults. Most notably, they set foreground/background
725to light gray/black, and also make sure that the colour 7 matches the
726default foreground colour.
727
728 URxvt.underlineColor: yellow
729
730Another colour, makes underline lines look different. Sometimes hurts, but
731is mostly a nice effect.
732
733 URxvt.geometry: 154x36
734 URxvt.loginShell: false
735 URxvt.meta: ignore
736 URxvt.utmpInhibit: true
737
738Uh, well, should be mostly self-explanatory. By specifying some defaults
739manually, I can quickly switch them for testing.
740
741 URxvt.saveLines: 8192
742
743A large scrollback buffer is essential. Really.
744
745 URxvt.mapAlert: true
746
747The only case I use it is for my IRC window, which I like to keep
748iconified till people msg me (which beeps).

750 URxvt.visualBell: true
751
752The audible bell is often annoying, especially when in a crowd.

756Please don't hack my mutt! Ooops...

769 urxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true
770 urxvt.boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true
771
772I wrote rxvt-unicode to be able to specify fonts exactly. So don't be
773overwhelmed. A special note: the C<9x15bold> mentioned above is actually
774the version from XFree-3.3, as XFree-4 replaced it by a totally different
775font (different glyphs for C<;> and many other harmless characters),
776while the second font is actually the C<9x15bold> from XFree4/XOrg. The
777bold version has less chars than the medium version, so I use it for rare
778characters, too. When editing sources with vim, I use italic for comments
779and other stuff, which looks quite good with Bitstream Vera anti-aliased.
780
781Terminus is a quite bad font (many very wrong glyphs), but for most of my
782purposes, it works, and gives a different look, as my normal (Non-bold)
783font is already bold, and I want to see a difference between bold and
784normal fonts.
785
786Please note that I used the C<urxvt> instance name and not the C<URxvt>
787class name. Thats because I use different configs for different purposes,
788for example, my IRC window is started with C<-name IRC>, and uses these
789defaults:
790
791 IRC*title: IRC
792 IRC*geometry: 87x12+535+542
793 IRC*saveLines: 0
794 IRC*mapAlert: true
795 IRC*font: suxuseuro

797 IRC*colorBD: white
798 IRC*keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]710;suxuseuro\007\033]711;suxuseuro\007
799 IRC*keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]710;9x15bold\007\033]711;9x15bold\007
800
801C<Alt-Shift-1> and C<Alt-Shift-2> switch between two different font
802sizes. C<suxuseuro> allows me to keep an eye (and actually read)
803stuff while keeping a very small window. If somebody pastes something
804complicated (e.g. japanese), I temporarily switch to a larger font.
805
806The above is all in my C<.Xdefaults> (I don't use C<.Xresources> nor
807C<xrdb>). I also have some resources in a separate C<.Xdefaults-hostname>
808file for different hosts, for example, on ym main desktop, I use:
809
810 URxvt.keysym.C-M-q: command:\033[3;5;5t
811 URxvt.keysym.C-M-y: command:\033[3;5;606t
812 URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: command:\033[3;1605;5t
813 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: command:\033[3;1605;606t
814 URxvt.keysym.C-M-p: perl:test
815
816The first for keysym definitions allow me to quickly bring some windows
817in the layout I like most. Ion users might start laughing but will stop
818immediately when I tell them that I use my own Fvwm2 module for much the
819same effect as Ion provides, and I only very rarely use the above key

947=head3 On Solaris 9, many line-drawing characters are too wide.
948
949Seems to be a known bug, read
950L<http://nixdoc.net/files/forum/about34198.html>. Some people use the
951following ugly workaround to get non-double-wide-characters working:
952
953 #define wcwidth(x) wcwidth(x) > 1 ? 1 : wcwidth(x)

1206=head3 Character widths are not correct.
1207
1208urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about
1209the width of characters, so on systems with incorrect locale data you
1210will likely get bad results. Two notorious examples are Solaris 9,
1211where single-width characters like U+2514 are reported as double-width,
1212and Darwin 8, where combining chars are reported having width 1.
1213
1214The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A
1215possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like
