355 | =item How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin? |
|
|
356 | |
|
|
357 | rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using |
|
|
358 | the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no |
|
|
359 | longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a |
|
|
360 | single font). I recommend starting the X-server in C<-multiwindow> or |
|
|
361 | C<-rootless> mode instead, which will result in similar look&feel as the |
|
|
362 | old libW11 emulation. |
|
|
363 | |
|
|
364 | At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any multi-byte |
|
|
365 | encodings (you might try C<LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8>), so you are likely limited |
|
|
366 | to 8-bit encodings. |
