		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).

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

		801	IRC*keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]710;9x15bold\007\033]711;9x15bold\007
		802
		803	C<Alt-Ctrl-1> and C<Alt-Ctrl-2> switch between two different font
		804	sizes. C<suxuseuro> allows me to keep an eye (and actually read)
		805	stuff while keeping a very small window. If somebody pastes something
		806	complicated (e.g. japanese), I temporarily switch to a larger font.
		807
		808	The above is all in my C<.Xdefaults> (I don't use C<.Xresources> nor
		809	C<xrdb>). I also have some resources in a separate C<.Xdefaults-hostname>
		810	file for different hosts, for example, on my main desktop, I use:
		811
		812	URxvt.keysym.C-M-q: command:\033[3;5;5t
		813	URxvt.keysym.C-M-y: command:\033[3;5;606t

		816	URxvt.keysym.C-M-p: perl:test
		817
		818	The first for keysym definitions allow me to quickly bring some windows
		819	in the layout I like most. Ion users might start laughing but will stop
		820	immediately when I tell them that I use my own Fvwm2 module for much the
		821	same effect as Ion provides, and I only very rarely use the above key

		1197	urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about
