On Mon, 09 Sep 2002, Kevin just had to get this off his chest:
Greetings!
How do I change the language encoding that my xterm uses? It is currently set to ASCII, but I would like to change it to iso-8859-1. Doing this for the console was a snap. I just changed CONSOLE_ENCODING in /etc/sysconfig/console. How I would manage to do this for X has eluded me, however. Any help would be much appreciated.
Afaik it's done in your .Xdefaults file This is mine: xterm*font: -*-*-medium-r-normal-sans-12-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-15 Select one in xfontsel and paste in this file Theo -- Theo v. Werkhoven ICBM 52 8 24N , 4 32 40E. SuSE 7.3 x86 Kernel 2.4.16-4GB See headers for PGP/GPG info.
