When I first looked at it with the mh mail reader, it looked like "but didn<B4>t work", where the <B$> was inverse video. Now, I've seen xterms work just fine with the 8859-1 char set, and it oughta work here, too, because when I run "xrdb -query" the output includes the line: xterm*font: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-10-0-75-75-m-0-iso8859-1 This would seem to say that the entire 8-bit char set is in use, but in fact I can't get anything the 7-bit ascii displayed correctly. I've been digging around in "man xterm" and the HOWTO docs, looking for some clues, but I haven't found any. The funny thing is that this looks like a degeneration. A year or two back, all of the linux boxen that I used seemed to have fully functional 8-bit xterms. Now it seems that none of them do. One thing that seems like a possibility is that I'm looking at this data across a ssh link. I wonder if ssh somehow shoots down 8-bit chars and forces 7-bit charsets on everything? There doesn't seem to be any mention of the topic in the ssh man page, and there's no obvious reason that ssh would do such a thing. Anyhow, has anyone written any sort of guideline on how to make 8-bit chars work and keep them working even across ssh and telnet links? - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
