342 How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin?
343 rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using
344 the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no
345 longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a
346 single font). I recommend starting the X-server in "-multiwindow" or
347 "-rootless" mode instead, which will result in similar look&feel as
348 the old libW11 emulation.
349
350 At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any
351 multi-byte encodings (you might try "LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8"), so you are
352 likely limited to 8-bit encodings.
