Tiger's xterm supported the -u8 and -lc parameters, and Leopard's man pages for xterm still claim to support those parameters, but the xterm in my Leopard's /usr/X11/bin/xterm don't support it. What might be the problem? Does Xorg's xterm just not support these parameters? Are there any plans on adding these features back in to the Leopard xterm?

Haven't seen any responses to this, so just to follow up: Does anyone know where the xterm binary on Leopard comes from? Does it get installed as part of the X11.pkg? Is the source public? (I'm hoping it's part of xorg's codebase but I don't see it in the source tree posted earlier on this list.) Any help finding the source would be appreciated. My ultimate goal would be to get utf8/locale support back into the native Leopard xterm binary.


It's available from Apple here: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5/X11apps-13/xterm/
If you look here: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5/X11apps-13/X11apps.plist

you should find

which will show you where that source came from.  Thanks for looking into this.
