Is it possible to have truetype fonts and get good
UTF-8 support. I find that I cannot have both. Hopefully I'm doing
something wrong. The character "⋮" is giving me trouble. This shows up
fine in my mail program as three vertical dots (I don't know how to type
it but it is output in a program I use). If I use:
$ xterm -ls &
then I can see the "⋮" in the terminal. But if I use
$ xterm -ls -fa Menlo &
then
I cannot (it shows up as an empty box). It does not matter if I
substitute uxterm in the above commands, I get the same result. I think
this is because my locale is set
$ locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
The problem is that I like
the truetype fonts (e.g., Menlo, Conolas, etc) much better than the
font I get with the first command above. Also, I use Menlo in
Terminal.app and it outputs the "⋮" character so I think it is capable of
it. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this?
I'm on OS X 10.9.3 and XQuartz 2.7.6 (xorg-server 1.14.6).
Thanks,
Bob
