[arch-general] xfce4's terminal does not understand unicode/utf8?
Hi all, I have set LOCALE="fr_CA.utf8" in rc.conf since I installed Arch some years ago. Since then, I was using KDE and I could see utf8 characters in the terminal. I've switched to Xfce 4.6 some weeks ago but now I get "??" in the terminal whenever I use UTF8 characters. When I type "locale" locally, I get: LANG= LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL= But when I connect through ssh (from a KDE machine), I get this: LANG=fr_CA.utf8 LC_CTYPE="fr_CA.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="fr_CA.utf8" LC_TIME="fr_CA.utf8" LC_COLLATE="fr_CA.utf8" LC_MONETARY="fr_CA.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="fr_CA.utf8" LC_PAPER="fr_CA.utf8" LC_NAME="fr_CA.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="fr_CA.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="fr_CA.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_CA.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_CA.utf8" LC_ALL= What's wrong here?? terminal 0.4.5-1 (xfce4) Thanks!

Hi, Nicolas, I've been using xfce's terminal for long time, and albeit I'm using now lxde, I still have xfce (4.6) installed and use terminal regularly. You could try to export LESSCHARSET="UTF-8" and see if it works. I have this in a script on /etc/profile.d, but I don't remember if it was to fix some problem like yours. Hope it helps, Armando
