Hello! In my work I access a lot of machines that use UTF-8 as default encoding. Trying to get this to work with my OpenBSD laptop i found the following problem.
start an "uxterm" $ file utf-8.txt utf-8.txt: UTF-8 Unicode text $ cat utf-8.txt edvEDV I then run cat and type four swedish characters and then try to backspace two of them. The display is updated correctly but hitting enter shows that only one of the characters was erased. $ cat ee eee On an standard (ISO8859) xterm this gives. $ cat ee ee On remote terminal session this becomes a problem when my fat fingers accidently hit the swedish characters and backspace seems to erase them but I get garbaled commands. So what am I doing wrong? Is this a lack of locale support in OpenBSD or is xterm a little broken? Jan J
