Re: xterm and tek mode (Fixed)



This will be in the next package release, but for those who use tek, you can get the binary here:

Interesting that you have solved this problem. This was a bug that I
submitted in the early days of Tiger when I first noticed the problem. I
have not checked to see if it is still open, but the results were similar.
The problem existed on PPC architecture. Interestingly, if you upgraded
from Jaguar to Tiger but did not install the Tiger X11 package the problem
did not manifest itself. As soon as you upgraded to the Tiger X11 package
it would appear. At the time no one at Apple seemed to take any interest in
solving the problem.


I am interested to try this work around on my old Powerbook G4 and see if it
resolves the problem.

That's it!  I removed --enable-wide-chars and --enable-luit (enabling
luit enables wide chars) and the resulting xterm now shows proper
characters in the tek pane.

I wonder if it's endianness coupled with multi-byte characters...

John mentioned in the initial email that this didn't occur on his
machine (ppc) with the Macports xterm.  This xterm is compiled with
default options which disables unicode and multi-byte character
support.

- The only thing that counts is *on which architecture your xterm
executable is running*.

If it runs on intel (Leopard), the characters in the Tek window
are OK,
if it runs on ppc (Leopard or Tiger), you get the empty squares.
If it
runs on Linux (intel), the characters are OK, too.

Weird.

An endianness problem, then. I see the same bug with an X.Org server
running on FreeBSD (intel) and xterm from XFree running on Solaris 8
(sparc). It works fine with the xterm that comes bundled with the
OS.
