Package: xterm
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2
Severity: important
How to reproduce :
1. Create/generate locales for en_US.UTF-8 and uk_UA.UTF-8
2. Add '*faceName: Terminus' into app-defaults/XTerm (Terminus has
enough Unicode characters for both Latin and Cyrillic).
3. Start xterm (or uxterm) with LANG=en_US.UTF-8
4. Inside it, run 'date' with LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8
5. See 'nnn nnn' instead of weekday and month names.
Why, oh why English UTF8 locale/encoding excludes
Cyrillic UTF8 characters out of printability ?
(the same could be reproduced with 'fixed' or 'clean' fonts as well,
(-fa option) with only difference - there dotted squares are seen).
How this should be indeed :
3. Start xterm/uxterm with LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8 (or with any other UTF8
locale, as it worked before)
4. Run 'date' with LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8
5. See proper cyrillic letters for month and weekday.
6. Run 'date' wirh LANG=en_US.UTF-8
7. See proper English date.
This behaviour started to occur after upgrading from XFree86 4.3.0 to
X.Org 6.8.2 . Don't know if it lays in xterm itself or in supporting
libs. Did not do any deep research. Just noticed that on one my system
where locale was en_US.UTF-8, Cyrillic letters stopped to be printed
after this upgrade. No similar effects were observed in gvim, neither
in Mozilla. Only 'beloved' xterm was so overly sensitive ...
