NAME
uxterm - X terminal emulator for Unicode (UTF-8) environments
SYNOPSIS
uxterm
[
xterm-options
]
DESCRIPTION
uxterm
is a wrapper around the
xterm(1)
program that invokes the latter program with the 'UXTerm' X resource
class set.
All arguments to
uxterm
are passed to
xterm
without processing; the
-class
and
-u8
options should not be specified because they are used by the wrapper.
See the
xterm
manual page for more information on
xterm-options.
The environment's locale settings (see "ENVIRONMENT" below) are
used to discern the locale's character set.
If no current locale can be determined, the locale 'en_US' (the
English language as used in the territory of the United States) is assumed.
The
locale(1)
utility is used to determine whether the system supports the selected
locale.
If it does not,
uxterm
will exit with an error and report the output of
locale.
Note: uxterm
may produce unexpected results if the current locale is set to one in which
the UTF-8 character encoding is not supported, or if fonts using the ISO
10646-1 character set are not available.
In the Debian system, the 'xfonts-base' package provides the fonts
that
uxterm
uses by default.
To change the fonts
uxterm
uses, edit the
/etc/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm
file.
A similar wrapper,
koi8rxterm(1),
is available for KOI8-R environments.
ENVIRONMENT
- LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG
-
The values of these variables are checked, in order, to determine the
character set used by the current locale.
