Cyrillic glyphs in uxterm and urxvt
I'm having trouble getting Cyrillic glyphs to display using either uxterm
or urxvt. I followed the instructions I found at
https://www.codejam.info/2015/03/urxvt-terminfo-on-netbsd.html for
installing the required terminfo stuff.
For urxvt, I get complaints of "Error opening terminal:
rxvt-unicode-256color." when trying to start an ncursesw program known to
work fine with Linux and FreeBSD in displaying Unicode.
For uxterm, I get good results when displaying Latin characters with
diacritical marks and inverse punctuation (Spanish). For Cyrillic
characters, I get question marks.
The program I'm working iwth is Frotz compiled against ncursesw. See
https://gitlab.com/DavidGriffith/frotz for the project and
https://gitlab.com/DavidGriffith/frotz/issues/134 for the BSD problems in
particular. Two test Zcode games are in Issue 134: one in Spanish and one
in Russian.
This is the tail end of a big overhaul of Frotz to finally add complete
audio support to the curses interface, and considerably improve everything
else -- especially the SDL interface. The last person to maintain the
Frotz pkgsrc entry doesn't use NetBSD anymore, so I'm not sure if/how
pkgsrc will get updated with this new release. I guess I could do it.
