-Sketchy overview of the details:
-
-See also the FAQ section in doc/rxvt.1.txt, and README.configure.
-
-- the options used in the ./reconf script should work. everything else
- might work and might be broken.
-
-- wchar_t MUST be UNICODE or ISO-10646-1 on your system, or various things
- will break down. On GNU/Linux, this is true for all locales, on Solaris,
- this might be true only for locales ending in "@ucs", but you should
- have plenty of them, as there should be a corresponding @ucs-locale for
- every normal locale.
-
- If you know details for other operating systems, please notify me (in
- general, if your env defines __STDC_ISO_10646__ then everything should
- be fine).
-
-- rxvt will use unicode internally, but does input/output in the current
- locale. so to get a utf-8 terminal, use "LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 rxvt" or
- equivalent.
-
-- you can specify a different locale to be used for your input method
- using the imLocale ressource or switch, e.g.:
- LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 rxvt -imlocale ja_JP.EUC-JP
-
-- keyboard input is limited by the selected locale (and X's support for
- it), tty input and output likewise. Selection support is independent of
- the locale.
-
-- "-fn" commandline switch and *.font ressource accepts a comma
- seperated list of fontnames:
-
- x:9x15bold a x11 font
- 9x15bold the same
- xft:Andale Mono a xft font
- xft:Andale Mono:pixelsize=20
- 9x15bold,terminus-15
-
-- the _first_ font in the list selects the cell width/height. All other
- fonts must be smaller or same sized, or they will be ignored or worse.
- xft fonts will automatically be rescaled, x11-fonts, too, if their
- size is not specified in the XLFD.
-
-- the fonts will be tried in the order given when searching for a font
- to display a specific character. if you are e.g. mainly interested
- in japanese you might want to put a japanese font first to get the
- ascii characters glyphs from it. If you are mainly interested in a text
- terminal and only want to display other characters you should put a
- ascii/is8859 text font first (e.g. "9x15bold") and let rxvt sort it out.
-
-- xft fonts require gobs of memory and generally are slow. try not to
- antialias them ("Font:antialias=false") when possible. Might look
- better, too, as they then match other fonts in weight.
-
-- src/defaultfont.C lists the fallback fonts that are tried when a
- character cannot be displayed with the current list of fonts.
-
-- if the realBold resource has been set, bold fonts will be used to
- display text with the bold attribute; you should specify the bold fonts
- you want to use in the list of fonts after the normal fonts
-
-- otherwise, normal bold text will use reverse video unless the colorBD
- resource has been set. coloured text will use high-intensity colours for
- bold.
