Thanks! What characters? What is shown? What did you expect? xterm uses fixed-size bitmap fonts which typically support only limited character ranges; both xterm and bitmap fonts are considered legacy technologies and have been replaced since by the development of scalable fonts and terminals supporting them in the 1990s. Can you use a terminal that supports scalable fonts? Examples include gnome-terminal and xfce4-terminal. If the characters are shown in in Firefox, I expect that you have installed fonts that support Chinese characters with a command like: apt-get install fonts-noto It might also be useful to know your locale. I hope your system and filesystem are using UTF-8. What is your filesystem type (ext4? vfat?) and what is its filename encoding?

Thanks! You could try uxterm. It is provided by the xterm package. Another method is to install xfonts-efont-unicode and use that font for xterm. For that purpose, I have these lines in ~/.Xdefaults: xterm*VT100.foreground: black xterm*VT100.background: white xterm*VT100.cursorColor: gray xterm*VT100.geometry: 85x40 xterm*VT100.font: -efont-fixed-medium-r-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* As for the size (16 here) you can choose from 10, 12, 14, 16 and 24.

Maybe some filenames are incorrectly encoded. It would really help if you showed us what you get, and what you expected. -- Eduardo M KALINOWSKI eduardo@kalinowski.com.br
