xterm and w3m-m17n

[oldo <oldo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
i had some little success with xterm and w3m-m17n , that i would
like to tell. (maybe this is well-known to most people on this list):

1: xterm)

i have manipulated xterm in the dirty or "dangerous" way (see
http://www.xfree86.org/archives/i18n/1999-Jul/0004.shtml) to have
diacritics available in utf-8 mode on xfree 3.3.6 with glibc 2.1.3
(Debian 2.2). At least they appear on screen now but do not to combine
with anything but space) ... :-( (further help is welcome.)

I commented out in xterm-164/input.c lines from 389:

389  /* Doesn't work if no Xutf8LookupString is available ?!
390  #if OPT_WIDE_CHARS
391              if(screen->utf8_mode)
392                  nbytes = Xutf8LookupString (screen->xic, event,
393                                              strbuf, sizeof(strbuf),
394                                              &keysym, &status_return);
395              else
396  #endif
397  */

This way I can type the diacritic chars (followed by space) but they
don't combine with say a or e as in "usual xterm". My Keyboard is
configured like this (which gives me combining characters in most
other applications):

Section "Keyboard"
   Protocol        "Standard"
   XkbRules        "xfree86"
   XkbModel        "pc102"
   XkbLayout       "de"
   XkbVariant      "deadkeys"
EndSection

2: w3m)

There is a little bug in w3m-m17n concerning bookmarks. You need to add a
line:

   171              pushText(tl, end_section);
   172              pushText(tl, "</ul>\n");
-> 173              bmark_added = 1;
   174          }

in w3m-m17n-0.19/w3mbookmark.c ...

Also there is an interesting hint for German user: Umlauts (äöü) are
by default displayed like a:, o: , u: in w3m-m17n. You need to set

Use alternate expression with ASCII for entity     ( )ON  (*)OFF

in the w3m options (press "o") to get the real Umlauts.

have a nice day
Oliver
