		40	There are three big problems with Gentoo Linux: first of all, most if not
		41	all Gentoo systems are completely broken (missing or mismatched header
		42	files, broken compiler etc. are just the tip of the iceberg); secondly,
		43	the Gentoo maintainer thinks it is a good idea to add broken patches to
		44	the code; and lastly, it should be called Gentoo GNU/Linux.
		45
		46	For these reasons, it is impossible to support rxvt-unicode on
		47	Gentoo. Problems appearing on Gentoo systems will usually simply be
		48	ignored unless they can be reproduced on non-Gentoo systems.

79		94
		95	If you want to start @@URXVT_NAME@@d automatically whenever you run
		96	@@URXVT_NAME@@c and the daemon isn't running yet, use this script:
		97
		98	#!/bin/sh

		101	@@URXVT_NAME@@d -q -o -f

		104
		105	This tries to create a new terminal, and if fails with exit status 2,
		106	meaning it couldn't connect to the daemon, it will start the daemon and
		107	re-run the command. Subsequent invocations of the script will re-use the
		108	existing daemon.

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

		454	=head3 Why do some chinese characters look so different than others?
		455
		456	This is because there is a difference between script and language --
		457	rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is,
		458	as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first
		459	sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for
		460	display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many
		461	chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
		462	non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
		463	-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
		464	chinese characters that are also in the japanese font.
		465
		466	The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
		467	list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
		468	a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
		469	first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.
		470
		471	In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at
		472	runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different
		473	fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this
		474	has been designed yet).
		475
		476	Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see L<Can
		477	I switch the fonts at runtime?> later in this document).

		791	I wrote rxvt-unicode to be able to specify fonts exactly. So don't be
		792	overwhelmed. A special note: the C<9x15bold> mentioned above is actually
		793	the version from XFree-3.3, as XFree-4 replaced it by a totally different
		794	font (different glyphs for C<;> and many other harmless characters),
		795	while the second font is actually the C<9x15bold> from XFree4/XOrg. The
		796	bold version has less chars than the medium version, so I use it for rare
		797	characters, too. When editing sources with vim, I use italic for comments
		798	and other stuff, which looks quite good with Bitstream Vera anti-aliased.
		799
		800	Terminus is a quite bad font (many very wrong glyphs), but for most of my
		801	purposes, it works, and gives a different look, as my normal (Non-bold)
		802	font is already bold, and I want to see a difference between bold and
		803	normal fonts.
		804
		805	Please note that I used the C<urxvt> instance name and not the C<URxvt>
		806	class name. That is because I use different configs for different purposes,
		807	for example, my IRC window is started with C<-name IRC>, and uses these
		808	defaults:
		809
		810	IRC*title: IRC
		811	IRC*geometry: 87x12+535+542
		812	IRC*saveLines: 0
		813	IRC*mapAlert: true
		814	IRC*font: suxuseuro
		815	IRC*boldFont: suxuseuro
		816	IRC*colorBD: white
		817	IRC*keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]710;suxuseuro\007\033]711;suxuseuro\007
		818	IRC*keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]710;9x15bold\007\033]711;9x15bold\007
		819
		820	C<Alt-Ctrl-1> and C<Alt-Ctrl-2> switch between two different font
		821	sizes. C<suxuseuro> allows me to keep an eye (and actually read)
		822	stuff while keeping a very small window. If somebody pastes something
		823	complicated (e.g. japanese), I temporarily switch to a larger font.
		824
		825	The above is all in my C<.Xdefaults> (I don't use C<.Xresources> nor
		826	C<xrdb>). I also have some resources in a separate C<.Xdefaults-hostname>
		827	file for different hosts, for example, on ym main desktop, I use:
		828
		829	URxvt.keysym.C-M-q: command:\033[3;5;5t
		830	URxvt.keysym.C-M-y: command:\033[3;5;606t
		831	URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: command:\033[3;1605;5t
		832	URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: command:\033[3;1605;606t
		833	URxvt.keysym.C-M-p: perl:test
		834
		835	The first for keysym definitions allow me to quickly bring some windows
		836	in the layout I like most. Ion users might start laughing but will stop
		837	immediately when I tell them that I use my own Fvwm2 module for much the
		838	same effect as Ion provides, and I only very rarely use the above key
		839	combinations :->

		1214	urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about
