The only things it does that i could imagine to be relevant are setting two command line options: -class UXTerm and -en UTF-8. The -en option is a deprecated way to hardcode UTF-8 mode for systems that do not support setlocale(3), so don't use it. It can't be what helps you here, as UTF-8 works in general. The -class UXTerm option causes /usr/X11R6/share/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm to be used instead of /usr/X11R6/share/X11/app-defaults/XTerm. The UXTerm file was also deleted, as it contains only font stuff and nobody considered that relevant for anything. Does the following make things work better for you? You can apply it directly to /usr/X11R6/share/X11/app-defaults/XTerm if you want to. It just copies the UXTerm.ad stuff over and disables the Precompose resource. Frankly, i don't have the slightest idea what the font resources mean, not even after reading the comment in UXterm.ad, but maybe they are needed for some reason. Except in a professional typesetting system like groff or LaTeX, i consider anything that makes the end user worry about fonts fundamentally broken. Fonts that work should be installed by default and not configurable, in my opinion. Toying around with fonts causes nothing but grief.
