rxvt-unicode Description

rxvt-unicode is an rxvt clone supporting mixed fonts, Xft fonts, and Unicode. rxvt-unicode is a clone of the well known terminal emulator rxvt, modified to store text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4) and to use locale-correct input and output. rxvt-unicode also supports mixing multiple fonts at the same time, including Xft fonts. Here are some key features of "rxvt-unicode": · Stores text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4). · Uses locale-correct input, output and width: as long as your system supports the locale, rxvt-unicode will display correctly. · Daemon mode: one daemon can open multiple windows on multiple displays, which improves memory usage and startup time considerably. · Crash-free. At least I try, but rxvt-unicode certainly crashes much less often than rxvt and it's many clones, and reproducible bugs get fixed immediately. · Completely flicker-free. · Full combining character support (unlike xterm :). · Multiple fonts supported at the same time: No need to choose between nice japanese and ugly latin, or no japanese and nice latin characters. · Supports Xft and core fonts in any combination. · Can easily be embedded into other applications. · All documentation accessible through manpages. · Locale-independent XIM support. · Many small improvements, such as improved and correct terminfo, improved secondary screen modes, italic and bold font support, tinting and shading. What's New in This Release: · This release fixes a load of minor bugs, such as memory leaks with libafterimage, correct adjusting of line length and wide characters on insert/delete/erase, a number of minor wide character problems, a problem with perl on HPPA systems, disabling mouse reporting on reset, and many others. · There have also been some small feature enhancements, such as being able to specify an icon image, an upgrade of the embedded libev, an OSC sequence to change the border color, a new Perl extension "overlay-osc", clearing the urgency hint on focus out, and a few others.
