I am using Simplified Chinese version of win2k and I put the following lines in my ~/.Xdefaults: [code] rxvt*font: fixedsys rxvt*boldFont: fixedsys rxvt*mfont: fixedsys rxvt*multibyte_cursor:True rxvt*multichar_encoding:big5 [/code] then the rxvt windows shipped with cygwin can display Chinese characters correctly (just as notepad.exe). However, if I change the rxvt*multichar_encoding line to gb, it cannot display correct gb2312 characters. It is confusing... [snip]
