Re: Special characters in x-term

Hello:

I am using an x-term on my MacBook to connect to a linux box (Fedora
4) machine.  Often the linux machine will produce some output that
has special characters in it which do not display under my current
configuration.  Two examples follow:

1) man gcc includes this section where special characters are
replaced with â

        any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
with the
        Invariant Sections being ââ and â
        Free Softwareââ, the Front-Cover texts being (a) (see below),
and with

2) gcc attempts to produce
gre.c: In function `foo´

but it comes out as:

gre.c: In function â:

Does anyone know if there is a configuration change in OS X to make
these characters printable in x-term?

Thanks,

Brad

I too have had this problem, not only from MacOS, but from Solaris and other operating systems as well. It has something to do with the locale environment variables, but I have searched long and hard on the Internet and Usenet and haven't found an answer. If you set the TERM environment variable to xterm-r6, you might get rid of some of the characters, but it won't fix everything. If anyone has an answer, please let me know. It has been an outstanding issue at work, and I would love to see it resolved. Thanks.
