After a recent archlinux upgrade via pacman -Suy
I lost UTF-8 display in terminals under xorg. This affects lxterminal, XFCE's terminal, and kde's konsole. I use XFCE 4.6 as window manager.
In my /etc/rc.conf
I do have the line LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8"
but non-ascii characters still show in terminal as funny symbols. UTF-8 characters are displayed fine in virutal consoles (accessible via ctr+alt+f1..) and in SSH sessions via putty. Also gnome-terminal displays UTF-8 without problems.
Is there a way to fix it?
1What exactly do they look like? If you type
printf '\xe2\x99\xaa\n';
does it output "♪
" or "♪
" or "�
"? – user1686 – 2011-06-06T21:05:28.883The second, i.e. "�". – ccpizza – 2011-06-07T10:00:47.857
