How can I make xterm show Unicode chars other than Latin and lines?

I'm trying to get my terminal (xterm) to show more Unicode characters. The UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux suggests that xterm can display quite a wide set, but I'm not seeing that.
I have the locale resource set to true as suggested in the wiki (and I have used xrdb to load the new resources, but it was actually set already before I logged in).
I've also made sure to use a font that has those characters. Here you can see a screenshot of vim and gvim showing the same file with the same font.

It's most likely your selection of fonts doesn't include the glyphs.  For xft (TrueType) I use DejaVu Sans Mono to balance glyph coverage with legibility and I use WenQuanYi Bitmap Song for the double wide characters.
xterm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book:antialias=false
xterm*faceNameDoublesize: WenQuanYi Bitmap Song
xterm*faceSize: 8
! Fix for DJVSM low-hanging underscore, adds line spacing:
xterm*scaleHeight: 1.01
The default XLFD font, aliased to "fixed", has very good glyph coverage.  You can probably switch to it with xterm's Ctrl-Right_Click menu: uncheck 'TrueType Fonts' and make sure Default is checked.  Or start a new xterm instance from the command line:
$ xterm -xrm "*renderFont: false" &
The default fonts for xterm are all XLFD.  You can view the system defaults in '/usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XTerm'.  The defaults may be overwritten by your user's X resources configuration.
Edit: fixed missing space in code.

  • How can I make Spotlight show the file path

    How can I make Spotlight show the file path in the Spotlight menu for selected file?

    Via Finder certainly, but not in the menu.  You can view the file path in the Spotlight search results display by pressing the ⌘ key (while hovering over a file in the results), though.  The path will display at the bottom of the Quick Look output, or cycle through that location.

  • Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and BBP

    Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and MBP when I purchased them. When I look at the App Store, it dose not show ML as purchased (to download again) - do I have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards
    NGI

    do i have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
    No. You can still make a bootable recovery DVD, but you will not be able to make a full bootable copy of ML without purchase.
    1) Enable the debug menu for Disk Utility via Terminal Application. Navigate to terminal by typing "terminal" in   spotlight. Copy the bolded text below and enter it into the command prompt:
    defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool true ; open -a "Disk Utility" ; exit
    2) From the Debug Menu > Select Show every Partition > Recovery HD should appear
    3) Right click (control + click) the Recovery HD partition and select "Mount"
    4) Right click again the partition again > "Reveal Recovery HD in Finder". Leave this window open
    5) At this point, you will need open terminal again and enter the following command:
    sudo chflags nohidden /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/BaseSystem.dmg ; exit
         Type your password when prompted.
    6) Navigate back to the Recovery HD finder Window > com.apple.recovery.boot > BaseSystem.dmg
    7) Drag "BaseSystem.dmg" into Disk Utility's sidebar.
    8) Insert your DVD
    9) Select "BaseSystem.dmg" in the sidebar and hit "Burn"
    Once the burn is completed, hold option down at startup and select the DVD to boot. This is a bootable Recovery partition, not a bootable copy of ML.
    Note: to disable the debug menu,
    defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool false

    I've got a G5, OS 10.5, and an IBook OS 10.4.  Both can reach the internet wirelesly. 
    How can I make them aware of each other, so they can exchange files?  Both have network
    icons in the systems peferences, but I can't see how to hook them up.

    That got me closer, but I'm not quite there yet.  On each ofthe two computers I've allowed all users File Sharing and Remote Management.  Each computer has an address 192.168.1.2 (or 4).  When I enter those addresses into "connect to server" the reponse is either 'drop box' or 'public folder'.  So it seems that only very basic sharing is allowed. I have'nt  set up a public folder on either one.

  • How can I make my Introduction_mc automatically disappear after 10 Seconds and load Home_mc?

    Hi,
    How can I make my Introduction_mc automatically disappear after 10 Seconds and load Home_mc (automatically)? I don't want user to change by himself this Introduction page. It should be done automatically.
    What is the procedure and code to achieve it, please?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I gues you are using AS2.0, then use setInterval, in AS3.0 user Timer Class.
    AS2.0
    var interval:Number = setInterval(doThis,10000);//in milliseconds
    function doThis():Void{
    //do something;
    AS3.0
    var timer:Timer = new Timer(10000, 1);
    timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onTimerCompleteHandler, false, 0, true )
    function onTimerCompleteHandler(event:TimerEvent):void{
    //do something;

    how can i transfer songs from another itunes other than mine

    Purchases made under 1 Apple ID are permanently associated with that Apple ID and CANNOT be transferred to another Apple ID.  So if you want to keep those songs, you'll need to always have access to your dad's account.

  • How can I make LR show ALL my subfolders?

    I have LR 5.3. I have an external drive with a master folder ("all my photos") within which are multple subfolders. When I enter LR in Library view, I only see the folders that have had images imported into LR. I want to move some of hte photos I have imported to some of the other folders,but those other folders do not appear. I have tried "show parent folder" and then expanding it, but that does not help. The folder I *WANT* to move these photos TO, is BELOW the folder that has the photos. Here's my structure:
    all my photosfamily
    birthdays2013-new
    holidays
    I have imported into birthdays (2013-new) and now I want to MOVE that folder to holidays, but the holidays folder does not show up in LR. I have tried putting photos directly into holidays, doing an import+"uncheck all" but the import button then goes gray, so I can't continue the null-import.
    How can I get "holidays" to appear without importing anything (I actually have DOZENS of such folders I want to appear).
    Hoping for a clue,
    DJ

    Yes, it sounds workable, but you can do one export of an entire folder, or an entire collection, instead of exporting each photo individually. Are you aware that you don't have to export every photo that you edit? You export only when needed for some non-Lightroom purpose; so for example, if you have edited 100 photos, and then you decide that you want 25 for a slideshow in JAlbum, then you would only export those 25.
    You can have photos exported to the same folder as the original, this is an option in the Export dialog section named Export Location. You can assign custom names using the File Naming section of the Export Dialog box, so you aren't overwriting your original, and you can easily tell which one is the export.
    When I see "collections" in the panels, I don't see the folders the photos came from. Maybe I'm not looking inthe right place.
    Collections only exist in Lightroom. They do not exist in operating system folders. If you have a collection of photos that come from many different imported folders, then the idea of keeping the exported photos in the same folder as the original destroys the idea of keeping the photos from the collection together.
    This brings up the concept of differentiating your "organization" from your "folders". These are two separate concepts in Lightroom, even though they might have been the same thing in PS and Bridge. Your organization of photos (keywords, collections) is always kept in Lightroom and can be independent of how the photos exist in folders in your operating system. In this example, where you want a collection of photos from JAlbum, I see no particular issue with keeping the collection in Lightroom, and exporting to a specific folder (not the same folder as the original folders) for JAlbum. Now, I understand you are going to say ... hey wait, I want the export and original together ... yes, they are together in Lightroom, where your organization exists, even if they are not together in folders. If you force yourself to continue to use folders as the way to organize, and you force yourself to stick with the old idea of keeping export and original together, then you lose the benefit of some of Lightroom's best features; you need to adapt and use new methods and throw out your old ideas about the way photos should be organized.
    My opinion ... all organizing should be done in Lightroom, and not via folders. The only time a folder should be used is at import (the photos have to go somewhere, I use folder names based on capture date) and at export when the photos are needed for some non-Lightroom purpose (the photos have to go somewhere, you can choose a meaningful folder name). Other than that, I do not use folders for any purpose.

  • After upgrading to OS Mountain Lion My separate mailboxes under GMail no longer show up on the screen. I couldn't add another mailbox of the same name "because it already exists". How can I make it show up on the left of the screen under GMail?

    After upgrading to OS Mountain Lion my separate mailboxes under Gmail no longer appear on the screen. How can I view them? They are still there because I tried to set up another mailbox with the same name & couldn't "because it already exists".

    Move your cursor down slowly to the right of the Gmail Mailbox and it should say show or hide.

  • How can I make Finder show thumbnail-sized photos?

    I am running OS 10.60 on a Macbook Air. I remember on the Powerbook G4 OS 10.39 I was able to see small thumbnail-sized pictures in the Finder window when I clicked on a photo. I could even run small-sized movies in the Finder window when I clicked on them.
    Now I have to wait for Preview to show the picture and it takes a long time. When I am going through a folder full of hundreds of photos to select certain ones it takes forever to go through them all.
    How can I get the pictures to show up as thumbnail-sized pictures in Finder?

    In the Finder, View menu, show View Options, show icon preview.
    For video previews, the minimum icon size is 64 x 64.
    There is also always a preview column in column view.
    You can use Coverflow view to go through a folder full of image files.
    You can Quicklook the image files. Select one and hit space bar. You can navigate through the folder with arrow keys or tab and the Quicklook will change to whatever image is selected.

  • em /em tag shows as bold not as italics in Firefox. But it shows as italics in Internet Explorer. It also shows as Italics in Dreamweaver. Why is that? How can I make Firefox show em /em as italics? Thank you. Jeffrey Feng yfeng@whittier.edu

    <em></em> tag shows as bold in Firefox, but it shows as italics in Internet Explorer. It also shows as italics in Dreamweaver and Contribute. Since our web designers use Dreaweaver and Contribute to create web pages, texts are formatted as italics when they use <em></em> tag, but when the end user browses the web using Firefox, they see bold text instead of italics. How can we remedy this problem with Firefox without changing hundreds of pages which contain <em></em>?
    Thank you.
