a good and fast solution for multilingual terminal

#1 Post by magerlab »

there are many problems to make a console support for many languages
and it's not easy
but there's a simple solution
i installed vte via gslapt( 700kb)

vte is a terminal emulator used also in rox-term and xfce4 wich supports input and output in UTF-8
even i can type in hebrew :P
not only in russian
and along with MC -utf-8( midnight commander with utf-8 support also can be found for slackware) i got a good teminal environment with inbuilt texteditor
