Screenshot About:
rxvt-unicode is a clone of the well known terminal emulator rxvt, modified to store text in Unicode and to use locale-correct input and output. It also supports mixing multiple fonts at the same time, including Xft fonts, real transparency, and an optional embedded Perl interpreter that allows you to extend your terminal easily.

[»] future feature requests or bug reports
by Marc A. Lehmann - Dec 18th 2004 17:18:20

Future feature requests or bug reports on freshmeat are likely to be ignored by the rxvt-unicode author.

Better use <rxvt-unicode@lists.schmorp.de> for that.

If you don't intend to communicate with the author, feel free to use freshmeat, though :)

[»] Great work on v4.0
by InfinityX - Dec 18th 2004 13:47:14

As the subject says the new version is simply fantastic, the increase in xft rendering speed is phenomenal as well, I can finally use transparency without any visible slowdown. The inclusion of bold and italic font support makes it without a doubt the best terminal emulator on my system.

The only problem I've seen so far is that italic and italic-bold text gets reverse-videoed when using GNU Screen, is this a Screen problem or have I not set urxvt up correctly?

    by Marc A. Lehmann - Dec 18th 2004 17:16:10

    as screen has no way to turn on italic, i wonder how it can display it as reverse? please note that screen is a different terminal than rxvt-unicode and uses it's own set of control sequences. it might be possible to maske screen learn italic, though. I am not sure.

[»] Transparent Scrollbar

Please try to add support for a transparent scrollbar as seen in aterm - thanks for continuing a fantastic project!

    as the scrollbar is already trasnparent - what are you missing?

[»] out_of_input error
by bushwacka - Oct 31st 2004 13:32:40

Rxvt-unicode has been flawless in just about every way. The single thing that happens, and this is reproducible on my system everytime, is if I open a man page, and proceed to scroll, I will eventuall get an out_of_input error and rxvt-unicode will terminate.

"terminate called after throwing an instance of 'out_of_input'
Aborted"

I run a 2.6.8 kernel with a Gentoo install.

    I can only imagine that your compiler lacks exyception support - did you disable exceptions when compiling rxvt-unicode, or maybe your gcc was configured for the wrong exception system=

What is the preferred method to report bugs? Post a comment here as done before? Use the mailling list (the archives button doesn't work, so I can't check), and direct email may not have been seen...

    Indeed, it's better to contact the list or the author directly. Comments on freshmeat get overlooked easily, and certainly there will be no timely response on freshmeat.

[»] urxvt can't use chinese input method
by °ü껾ü - Sep 10th 2004 22:39:27

Hi, I really like urxvt, although I havn't used it a lot at all. It's because I can't get it work with any chinese input methods (yes I think I've tried all of'em). As I'm using Debian, thus can easily get some japanese and korean input methods, much to my surprise, they seem to be fine. But rxvt and xterm work with all of the IMs. If u're willing to fix it, here's one chinese im: http://scim.freedesktop.org/
and this is another:

    % chinese input methods (yes I think I've
    > tried all of'em). As I'm using Debian, it seems that the chinese input methods based on imdkit are a but buggy, and also trigger crashes with the XIM protocol (the latter is a bug in XIM really). Additionally, rxvt-unicode-3.9 has a bug that can make it crash, too, when the input method is being killed. So the situation is bad :) the cvs version contains a few workarounds around the imkdit and xlib problems, and also fixes the crash problem. Try it out!
    > rxvt and xterm work with all of the IMs. They don't support switching locales, which keeps them from triggering various protocol problems. Also, it seems that the chinese input methods require events targetted at foreign windows too, which should really be fixed to keep the protocol overhead low. It is, however, impossible to make XIM work crash-free. The real solution would probbaly be to switch to IIIMF, which ought to contain less race condition bugs.
    > http://scim.freedesktop.org/ Should work with 3.9... it does in debian. Maybe you have set the wrong locale?

    Please set a breakpoint on "rxvt_xerror_handler", run urxvt and provide a backtrace when it hits that function. Thanks.

[»] print-pipe
by Jinesh Choksi - Aug 15th 2004 15:13:58

The following doesn't seem to dump the screen contents into the file rxvt.print:

URxvt.print-pipe: "cat >$HOME/rxvt.print"

(I was later going to use mktemp to ensure I got a unique filename btw)

Using the above resource line, and pressing PrintScreen, generates rxvt.print, but the contents are: the first character on the screen, followed by x newlines, where x = term height.

Could it be that the unicode support broke this feature?
