uxterm(1) uxterm(1) NAME uxterm - X terminal emulator for Unicode (UTF-8) environments SYNOPSIS uxterm [ xterm-options ] DESCRIPTION uxterm is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes the latter program with the UXTerm X resource class set. All arguments to uxterm are passed to xterm without processing; the -class and -u8 options should not be specified because they are used by the wrapper. See the xterm manual page for more information on xterm-options. The environments locale settings (see ENVIRONMENT below) are used to discern the locales character set. If no current locale can be deter mined, the locale en_US (the English language as used in the terri tory of the United States) is assumed. The locale(1) utility is used to determine whether the system supports the selected locale. If it does not, uxterm will exit with an error and report the output of locale. Note: uxterm may produce unexpected results if the current locale is set to one in which the UTF-8 character encoding is not supported, or if fonts using the ISO 10646-1 character set are not available. In the Debian system, the xfonts-base package provides the fonts that uxterm uses by default. To change the fonts uxterm uses, edit the /etc/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm file. A similar wrapper, koi8rxterm(1), is available for KOI8-R environments. ENVIRONMENT LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG The values of these variables are checked, in order, to deter mine the character set used by the current locale.
