		9	=item How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using?
		10
		11	The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). Also the escape
		12	sequence C<ESC[8n> sets the window title to the version number.
		13
		14	=item When I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data?
		15
		16	The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available
		17	as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often arises).
		18
		19	The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this can
		20	be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp):
		21
		22	REMOTE=remotesystem.domain
		23	infocmp rxvt-unicode \| ssh $REMOTE "cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti"
		24
		25	... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system,
		26
		27	If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set
		28	C<TERM=rxvt> or even C<TERM=xterm>, and live with the small number of
		29	problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different
		30	colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice
		31	quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though.
		32
		33	If you always want to do this you can either recompile rxvt-unicode with
		34	the desired TERM value or use a resource to set it:
		35
		36	URxvt.termName: rxvt
		37
		38	If you don't plan to use B<rxvt> (quite common...) you could also replace
		39	the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one.
		40
		41	=item I need a termcap file entry.
		42
		43	You could use rxvt's termcap entry with resonable results in many cases.
		44	You can also create a termcap entry by using terminfo's infocmp program
		45	like this:
		46
		47	infocmp -C rxvt-unicode
		48
		49	OR you could this termcap entry:

		71	=item How can I configure rxvt-unicode so that it looks similar to the original rxvt?
		72
		73	Felix von Leitner says that these two lines, in your F<.Xdefaults>, will make rxvt-unicode
		74	behave similar to the original rxvt:
		75
		76	URxvt.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
		77	URxvt.boldFont: -misc-fixed-bold-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
		78
		79	=item Rxvt-unicode does not seem to understand the selected encoding?
		80
		81	=item Unicode does not seem to work?
		82
		83	If you encounter strange problems like typing an accented character but
		84	getting two unrelated other characters or similar, or if program output is
		85	subtly garbled, then you should check your locale settings.
		86
		87	Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same C<LC_CTYPE> setting as the
		88	programs. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the C<C> locale, while the
		89	login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the locale to
		90	sth. else, e.h. C<en_GB.UTF-8>. Needless to say, this is not going to work.
		91
		92	The best thing is to fix your startup environment, as you will likely run
		93	into other problems. If nothing works you can try this in your .profile.
		94
		95	printf '\e]701;%s\007' "$LC_CTYPE"
		96
		97	If this doesn't work, then maybe you use a C<LC_CTYPE> specification not
		98	supported on your systems. Some systems have a C<locale> command which
		99	displays this. If it displays sth. like:
		100
		101	locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: ...
		102
		103	Then the locale you specified is not supported on your system.
		104
		105	If nothing works and you are sure that everything is set correctly then
		106	you will need to remember a little known fact: Some programs just don't
		107	support locales :(
		108
		109	=item Why do some characters look so much different than others?
		110
		111	=item How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts?
		112
		113	Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is
		114	fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of
		115	your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want
		116	to display.
		117
		118	B<rxvt-unicode> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement
		119	font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks
		120	bad. Many fonts have totally strange characters that don't resemble the
		121	correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial intelligence
		122	to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe the font that
		123	the characters it contains indeed look correct.
		124
		125	In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list,
		126	e.g.:
		127
		128	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -fn basefont,font2,font3...
		129
		130	When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base
		131	font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the
		132	next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this
		133	search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X-server.
		134
		135	The only limitation is that all the fonts must not be larger than the base
		136	font, as the base font defines the principal cell size, which must be the
		137	same due to the way terminals work.
		138
		139	=item Why do some chinese characters look so different than others?
		140
		141	This is because there is a difference between script and language --
		142	rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output
		143	is, as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode
		144	first sees a japanese character, it might choose a japanese font for
		145	it. Subsequent japanese characters will take that font. Now, many chinese
		146	characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
		147	non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
		148	-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
		149	japanese characters that are also chinese.
		150
		151	The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
		152	list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
		153	a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
		154	first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.
		155
		156	In the future it might be possible to switch preferences at runtime (the
		157	internal data structure has no problem with using different fonts for
		158	the same character at the same time, but no interface for this has been
		159	designed yet).
		160
		161	=item Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings?
		162
		163	Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character
		164	size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might
		165	contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid
		166	these characters. For characters that are just "a bit" too wide a special
		167	"careful" rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters.
		168
		169	All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes,
		170	however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding
		171	box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to
		172	ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these
		173	cases).
		174
		175	It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, freetype, or
		176	the respective font. If you encounter this problem there is no way to work
		177	around this except by using a different font.
		178
		179	All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their bounding
		180	box data is correct.
		181
		182	=item My Compose (Multi_key) key is no longer working.
		183
		184	The most common causes for this are that either your locale is not set
		185	correctly, or you specified a B<preeditStyle> that is not supported by
		186	your input method. For example, if you specified B<OverTheSpot> and
		187	your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose keys)
		188	does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), then
		189	rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method.
		190
		191	In this case either do not specify a B<preeditStyle> or specify more than
		192	one pre-edit style, such as B<OverTheSpot,Root,None>.
		193
		194	=item I cannot type C<Ctrl-Shift-2> to get an ASCII NUL character due to ISO 14755
		195
		196	Either try C<Ctrl-2> alone (it often is mapped to ASCII NUL even on
		197	international keyboards) or simply use ISO 14755 support to your
		198	advantage, typing <Ctrl-Shift-0> to get a ASCII NUL. This works for other
		199	codes, too, such as C<Ctrl-Shift-1-d> to type the default telnet escape
		200	character and so on.
		201
		202	=item How can I keep rxvt-unicode from using reverse video so much?
		203
		204	First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminfo
		205	(C<urxvt>), which will get rid of most of these effects. Then make sure
		206	you have specified colours for italic and bold, as otherwise rxvt-unicode
		207	might use reverse video to simulate the effect:
		208
		209	URxvt*colorBD: white
		210	URxvt*colorIT: green
		211
		212	=item Some programs assume totally weird colours (red instead of blue), how can I fix that?
		213
		214	For some unexplainable reason, some programs (i.e. irssi) assume a very
		215	weird colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than the
		216	standard 8 colours (rxvt-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, of
		217	course, to fix these programs not to assume non-ISO colours without very
		218	good reasons.
		219
		220	In the meantime, you can either edit your C<urxvt> terminfo definition to
		221	only claim 8 colour support or use C<TERM=rxvt>, which will fix colours
		222	but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode features.
		223
		224	=item I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all.
		225
		226	Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> to be defined
		227	in your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it,
		228	wether it defines the symbol or not. C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> requires that
		229	B<wchar_t> is represented as unicode.
		230
		231	As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symobl nor
		232	does it support it. Instead, it uses it's own internal representation of
		233	B<wchar_t>. This is, of course, completely legal.
		234
		235	However, C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> is the only sane way to support
		236	multi-language apps in an OS, as using a locale-dependent (and
		237	non-standardized) representation of B<wchar_t> makes it impossible to
		238	convert between B<wchar_t> (as used by X11 and your applications) and any
		239	other encoding without implementing OS-specific-wrappers for each and
		240	every locale. There simply are no APIs to convert B<wchar_t> into anything
		241	except the current locale encoding.
		242
		243	Some applications (such as the formidable B<mlterm>) work around this
		244	by carrying their own replacement functions for character set handling
		245	with them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or doing multiple
		246	conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the OS implements
		247	encodings slightly different than the terminal emulator).
		248
		249	The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in the
		250	system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry
		251	complete replacements.
		252
		253	=item How does rxvt-unicode determine the encoding to use?
		254
		255	=item Is there an option to switch encodings?
		256
		257	Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no
		258	specific "utf-8" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about
		259	UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O.
		260
		261	The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting
		262	the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all
		263	applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width and
		264	code number. This mechanism is the I<locale>.
		265
		266	Rxvt-unicode uses the C<LC_CTYPE> locale category to select encoding. All
		267	programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the
		268	interpretation of characters.
		269
		270	Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor
		271	is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like.
		272
		273	On most systems, the content of the C<LC_CTYPE> environment variable
		274	contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed
		275	locale. Common names for locales are C<en_US.UTF-8>, C<de_DE.ISO-8859-15>,
		276	C<ja_JP.EUC-JP>, i.e. C<language_country.encoding>, but other forms
		277	(i.e. C<de> or C<german>) are also common.
		278
		279	Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for
		280	the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings,
		281	i.e. C<de_DE.UTF-8> and C<ja_JP.UTF-8> are the same for rxvt-unicode.
		282
		283	If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start
		284	rxvt-unicode with the correct C<LC_CTYPE> category.
		285
		286	=item Can I switch locales at runtime?
		287
		288	Yes, using an escape sequence. Try sth. like this, which sets
		289	rxvt-unicode's idea of C<LC_CTYPE>.
		290
		291	printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS
		292
		293	See also the previous question.
		294
		295	Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in one
		296	locale (e.g. C<de_DE.UTF-8>) but some programs don't support UTF-8. For
		297	example, I use this script to start C<xjdic>, which first switches to a
		298	locale supported by xjdic and back later:
		299
		300	printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS
		301	xjdic -js
		302	printf '\e]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8
		303
		304	=item Can I switch the fonts at runtime?
		305
		306	Yes, using an escape sequence. Try sth. like this, which has the same
		307	effect as using the C<-fn> switch, and takes effect immediately:
		308
		309	printf '\e]50;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic"
		310
		311	This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer a
		312	japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, where
		313	japanese fonts would only be in your way.
		314
		315	You can think of this as a kind of manual ISO-2022 switching.
		316
		317	=item Why do italic characters look as if clipped?
		318
		319	Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For
		320	example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font C<xft:Bitstream Vera Sans
		321	Mono> completely fails in it's italic face. A workaround is to enable
		322	freetype autohinting, i.e. like this:
		323
		324	URxvt*italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true
		325	URxvt*boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true
		326
		327	=item My input method wants <some encoding> but I want UTF-8, what can I do?
		328
		329	You can specify separate locales for the input method and the rest of the
		330	terminal, using the resource C<imlocale>:
		331
		332	URxvt*imlocale: ja_JP.EUC-JP
		333
		334	Now you can start your terminal with C<LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8> and still
		335	use your input method. Please note, however, that you will not be able to
		336	input characters outside C<EUC-JP> in a normal way then, as your input
		337	method limits you.
		338
		339	=item Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that?
		340
		341	Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for sth. you
		342	don't use. One thing you should try is to configure out all settings that
		343	you don't need, for example, Xft support is a resource hog by design,
		344	when used. Compiling it out ensures that no Xft font will be loaded
		345	accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find a font for your characters.
		346
		347	Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger
		348	scrollback buffers: Without C<--enable-unicode3>, rxvt-unicode will use
		349	6 bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to almost a
		350	kilobyte per line. A scrollback buffer of 10000 lines will then (if full)
		351	use 10 Megabytes of memory. With C<--enable-unicode3> it gets worse, as
		352	rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell.
		353
		354	=item Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow?
		355
		356	Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, as
		357	it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to disable
		358	antialiasing (by appending C<:antialiasing=false>), which saves lots of
		359	memory and also speeds up rendering considerably.
		360
		361	=item Rxvt-unicode doesn't seem to anti-alias its fonts, what is wrong?
		362
		363	Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to
		364	fall back to it's default font search list it will prefer X11 core
		365	fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It has
		366	antialiasing disabled for most of them, because the author thinks they
		367	look best that way.
		368
		369	If you want antialiasing, you have to specify the fonts manually.
		370
		371	=item Mouse cut/paste suddenly no longer works.
		372
		373	Make sure that mouse reporting is actually turned off since killing
		374	some editors prematurely may leave the mouse in mouse report mode. I've
		375	heard that tcsh may use mouse reporting unless it otherwise specified. A
		376	quick check is to see if cut/paste works when the Alt or Shift keys are
		377	depressed. See @@RXVT_NAME@@(7)
		378
		379	=item What's with this bold/blink stuff?
		380
		381	If no bold colour is set via C<colorBD:>, bold will invert text using the
		382	standard foreground colour.
		383
		384	For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the
		385	text blink when compiled with C<--enable-blinking>. with standard
		386	colours. Without C<--enable-blinking>, the blink attribute will be
		387	ignored.
		388
		389	On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set high-intensity
		390	foreground/background colors.
		391
		392	color0-7 are the low-intensity colors.
		393
		394	color8-15 are the corresponding high-intensity colors.
		395
		396	=item I don't like the screen colors. How do I change them?
		397
		398	You can change the screen colors at run-time using F<~/.Xdefaults>
		399	resources (or as long-options).
		400
		401	Here are values that are supposed to resemble a VGA screen,
		402	including the murky brown that passes for low-intensity yellow:
		403
		404	URxvt*color0: #000000
		405	URxvt*color1: #A80000
		406	URxvt*color2: #00A800
		407	URxvt*color3: #A8A800
		408	URxvt*color4: #0000A8
		409	URxvt*color5: #A800A8
		410	URxvt*color6: #00A8A8
		411	URxvt*color7: #A8A8A8
		412
		413	URxvt*color8: #000054
		414	URxvt*color9: #FF0054
		415	URxvt*color10: #00FF54
		416	URxvt*color11: #FFFF54
		417	URxvt*color12: #0000FF
		418	URxvt*color13: #FF00FF
		419	URxvt*color14: #00FFFF

		444	=item What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour?
		445
		446	Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the
		447	BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following
		448	question) there are two standard values that can be used for
		449	Backspace: C<^H> and C<^?>.
		450
		451	Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian
		452	policy of using C<^?> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct
		453	choice :).
		454
		455	Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value
		456	of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't
		457	started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the
		458	system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will
		459	be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting).
		460
		461	For starting a new rxvt-unicode:
		462
		463	# use Backspace = ^H
		464	$ stty erase ^H
		465	$ @@RXVT_NAME@@
		466
		467	# use Backspace = ^?
		468	$ stty erase ^?
		469	$ @@RXVT_NAME@@
		470
		471	Toggle with "ESC[36h" / "ESC[36l" as documented in @@RXVT_NAME@@(7).
		472
		473	For an existing rxvt-unicode:
		474
		475	# use Backspace = ^H
		476	$ stty erase ^H
		477	$ echo -n "^[[36h"
		478
		479	# use Backspace = ^?
		480	$ stty erase ^?
		481	$ echo -n "^[[36l"
		482
		483	This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but
		484	if you use Backspace = C<^H>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value
		485	properly reflects that.
		486
		487	The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem.
		488	To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete
		489	key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute
		490	(ESC[3~) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo.
		491
		492	Some other Backspace problems:
		493
		494	some editors use termcap/terminfo,
		495	some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H,
		496	GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help.
		497
		498	Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner.
		499
		500	=item I don't like the key-bindings. How do I change them?
		501
		502	There are some compile-time selections available via configure. Unless
		503	you have run "configure" with the C<--disable-resources> option you can
		504	use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings associated with keysym
		505	0xFF00 - 0xFFFF (function, cursor keys, etc).
		506
		507	Here's an example for a tn3270 session started using `@@RXVT_NAME@@ -name tn3270'
		508
		509	!# ----- special uses ------:

		548	=item I'm using keyboard model XXX that has extra Prior/Next/Insert keys.
		549	How do I make use of them? For example, the Sun Keyboard type 4
		550	has the following mappings that rxvt-unicode doesn't recognize.
		551
		552	KP_Insert == Insert
		553	F22 == Print
		554	F27 == Home
		555	F29 == Prior
		556	F33 == End
		557	F35 == Next
		558
		559	Rather than have rxvt-unicode try to accommodate all the various possible keyboard
		560	mappings, it is better to use `xmodmap' to remap the keys as required for
		561	your particular machine.
		562
		563	=item How do I distinguish if I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm?
		564	I need this to decide about setting colors etc.
		565
		566	rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable "COLORTERM", so you can
		567	check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, slrn,
		568	Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide whether or
		569	not to use color.
		570
		571	=item How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable?
		572
		573	If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and have enabled
		574	insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script
		575	snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode
		576	wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) then
		577	the COLORTERM variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a
		578	regular xterm.
		579
		580	Courtesy of Chuck Blake <cblake@BBN.COM> with the following shell script
		581	snippets:
		582
		583	# Bourne/Korn/POSIX family of shells:
		584	[ ${TERM:-foo} = foo ] && TERM=xterm # assume an xterm if we don't know
		585	if [ ${TERM:-foo} = xterm ]; then
		586	stty -icanon -echo min 0 time 15 # see if enhanced rxvt or not
		587	echo -n '^[Z'
		588	read term_id
		589	stty icanon echo
		590	if [ ""${term_id} = '^[[?1;2C' -a ${DISPLAY:-foo} = foo ]; then
		591	echo -n '^[[7n' # query the rxvt we are in for the DISPLAY string
		592	read DISPLAY # set it in our local shell
		593	fi
		594	fi
		595
		596	=item How do I compile the manual pages for myself?
		597

		2048	=head1 CONFIGURE OPTIONS
		2049
		2050	General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration
		2051	hasn't been tested well. Either try with --enable-everything or use the
		2052	./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by myself,
		2053	so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you should always
		2054	report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc Lehmann
		2055	<rxvt@schmorp.de>.
		2056
		2057	=over 4
		2058
		2059	=item --enable-everything
		2060
		2061	Add support for all non-multichoice options listed in "./configure
		2062	--help". Note that unlike other enable options this is order dependant.
		2063	You can specify this and then disable options which this enables by
		2064	I<following> this with the appropriate commands.
		2065
		2066	=item --enable-xft
		2067
		2068	Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts are
		2069	slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use them, you
		2070	don't pay for them.
		2071
		2072	=item --enable-font-styles
		2073
		2074	Add support for B<bold>, I<italic> and B<< I<bold italic> >> font
		2075	styles. The fonts can be set manually or automatically.
		2076
		2077	=item --with-codesets=NAME,...
		2078
		2079	Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups (eu, vn are
		2080	always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character sets). These
		2081	codeset tables are currently only used for driving X11 core fonts, they
		2082	are not required for Xft fonts. Compiling them in will make your binary
		2083	bigger (together about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless
		2084	you use an X11 font requiring one of these encodings.
		2085
		2086	=begin table

		2088	all all available codeset groups
		2089	zh common chinese encodings

		2092	jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings
		2093	kr korean encodings
		2094
		2095	=end table
		2096
		2097	=item --enable-xim
		2098
		2099	Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
		2100	alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly
		2101	set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.
		2102
		2103	=item --enable-unicode3
		2104
		2105	Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above
		2106	65535 (the basic multilingual page). This increases storage
		2107	requirements per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet
		2108	support these extra characters, but Xft does.
		2109
		2110	Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535
		2111	even without this flag, but the number of such characters is
		2112	limited to a view thousand (shared with combining characters,
		2113	see next switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them
		2114	(input/output and cut&paste still work, though).
		2115
		2116	=item --enable-combining
		2117
		2118	Enable automatic composition of combining characters into
		2119	composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text
		2120	where accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is
		2121	done by using precomposited characters when available or creating
		2122	new pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists.
		2123
		2124	Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed
		2125	characters is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt will use the
		2126	private use area, extending the number of combinations to 8448). With
		2127	--enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. This will also enable
		2128	storage of characters >65535.
		2129
		2130	The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation forms,
		2131	but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to be used.
		2132
		2133	=item --enable-fallback(=CLASS)
		2134
		2135	When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS
		2136	(default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback.
		2137
		2138	=item --with-res-name=NAME
		2139
		2140	Use the given name (default: urxvt) as default application name when
		2141	reading resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt.
		2142
		2143	=item --with-res-class=CLASS
		2144
		2145	Use the given class (default: URxvt) as default application class
		2146	when reading resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace
		2147	rxvt.
		2148
		2149	=item --enable-utmp
		2150
		2151	Write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like F<w>) at
		2152	start of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits.
		2153
		2154	=item --enable-wtmp
		2155
		2156	Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like F<last>) at
		2157	start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This
		2158	option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified.
		2159
		2160	=item --enable-lastlog
		2161
		2162	Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like
		2163	F<lastlogin>) at start of rxvt execution. This option requires
		2164	--enable-utmp to also be specified.
		2165
		2166	=item --enable-xpm-background
		2167
		2168	Add support for XPM background pixmaps.
		2169
		2170	=item --enable-transparency
		2171
		2172	Add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake
		2173	transparency to the term.
		2174
		2175	=item --enable-fading
		2176
		2177	Add support for fading the text when focus is lost.
		2178
		2179	=item --enable-tinting
		2180
		2181	Add support for tinting of transparent backgrounds.
		2182
		2183	=item --enable-menubar
		2184
		2185	Add support for our menu bar system (this interacts badly with
		2186	dynamic locale switching currently).
		2187
		2188	=item --enable-rxvt-scroll
		2189
		2190	Add support for the original rxvt scrollbar.
		2191
		2192	=item --enable-next-scroll
		2193
		2194	Add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar.
		2195
		2196	=item --enable-xterm-scroll
		2197
		2198	Add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar.
		2199
		2200	=item --enable-plain-scroll
		2201
		2202	Add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that
		2203	is the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for
		2204	many years.
		2205
		2206	=item --enable-half-shadow
		2207
		2208	Make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height.
		2209	only applicable to rxvt scrollbars.
		2210
		2211	=item --enable-ttygid
		2212
		2213	Change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if
		2214	your system uses this type of security.
		2215
		2216	=item --disable-backspace-key
		2217
		2218	Disable any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server
		2219	do it.
		2220
		2221	=item --disable-delete-key
		2222
		2223	Disable any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server
		2224	do it.
		2225
		2226	=item --disable-resources
		2227
		2228	Remove all resources checking.
		2229
		2230	=item --enable-xgetdefault
		2231
		2232	Make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small
		2233	version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist
		2234	then ~/.Xresources.
		2235
		2236	=item --enable-strings
		2237
		2238	Add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other
		2239	various routines, overriding your system's versions which may
		2240	have been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries
		2241	to link in. (this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many
		2242	GNU/Linux systems).
		2243
		2244	=item --disable-swapscreen
		2245
		2246	Remove support for swap screen.
		2247
		2248	=item --enable-frills
		2249
		2250	Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice to
		2251	have. Normally you want this, but for very small binaries you may want to
		2252	disable this.
		2253
		2254	=item --enable-iso14755
		2255
		2256	Enable extended ISO 14755 support (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(1), or
		2257	F<doc/rxvt.1.txt>). Basic support (section 5.1) is enabled by
		2258	C<--enable-frills>, while support for 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 is enabled with
		2259	this switch.
		2260
		2261	=item --enable-linespace
		2262
		2263	Add support to provide user specified line spacing between text rows.
		2264
		2265	=item --enable-keepscrolling
		2266
		2267	Add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold
		2268	the mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow.
		2269
		2270	=item --enable-mousewheel
		2271
		2272	Add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5.
		2273
		2274	=item --enable-slipwheeling
		2275
		2276	Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an
		2277	accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option
		2278	requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified.
		2279
		2280	=item --disable-new-selection
		2281
		2282	Remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm.
		2283
		2284	=item --enable-dmalloc
		2285
		2286	Use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging See
		2287	http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details If you use either this or the
		2288	next option, you may need to edit src/Makefile after compiling to point
		2289	DINCLUDE and DLIB to the right places.
		2290
		2291	You can only use either this option and the following (should
		2292	you use either) .
		2293
		2294	=item --enable-dlmalloc
		2295
		2296	Use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version
		2297	See L<http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html> for details.
		2298
		2299	=item --enable-smart-resize
		2300
		2301	Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when changing font size via from hot
		2302	keys. This should keep in a fixed position the rxvt corner which is
		2303	closest to a corner of the screen.
		2304
		2305	=item --enable-cursor-blink
		2306
		2307	Add support for a blinking cursor.
		2308
		2309	=item --enable-pointer-blank

		2311	Add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive.
		2312
		2313	=item --with-name=NAME
		2314
		2315	Set the basename for the installed binaries (default: urxvt, resulting in
		2316	urxvt, urxvtd etc.). Specify --with-name=rxvt to replace rxvt.
		2317
		2318	=item --with-term=NAME
		2319
		2320	Change the environmental variable for the terminal to NAME (default
		2321	"rxvt")
		2322
		2323	=item --with-terminfo=PATH
		2324
		2325	Change the environmental variable for the path to the terminfo tree to
		2326	PATH.
		2327
		2328	=item --with-x
		2329
		2330	Use the X Window System (pretty much default, eh?).
		2331
		2332	=item --with-xpm-includes=DIR
		2333
		2334	Look for the XPM includes in DIR.
