Description Jens Petersen 2023-06-23 07:22:52 UTC
It would be good to rebase xterm in F38 to a newer version.
Rendering Japanese is currently broken by default in F38 xterm-380.

It seems fixed in xterm-382 in Rawhide.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. xterm
2. LANG=ja_JP.utf8 date

Actual Results:  
Dashed boxes appear in place of widechars

Expected Results:  
Japanese characters to render by default like with xterm-379.

Comment 1 Thomas E. Dickey 2023-06-23 07:35:39 UTC
agreed (simple bug, simple fix).

There's a packaging glitch however - you may want 383

xterm-383 will be along in a few days, when documentation is done.

The main change in 383 is that it adds a new mode to accommodate
any users of the revised mode 45, for which see

Documenting and work on esctest also found a few minor bugs to fix.
