french characters

[Eric Guerizec]

Hello
I use ReflectionX 7.2 with WinNT to connect into my HP systems.
I use the telnet method with the following command :
(/usr/bin/X11/xterm -fn 6x13 -sb -ls -display %IP#% -name %T% &)
But in this xterm, i can't have the eacute character when I use my french keyboard.
Does anybody know what I need to change in my Reflection configuration or HP-UX configuration to have the "acute" french characters???

What locale are you using on your HP machine?

I'd go into RX settings and look at Keyboard -> Keyboard map french.kmp and also settings -> fonts -> font path , setup xfs on the hpux system and put the fontserver address at the font path head in RX's ie tcp/ip_address:7000

Also look at stty setting probably will require cs8 set.

good luck !

I try to use : set cs8 -istrip -parenb
In this case, I have the ?? character!
I try to use LC_ALL with fr_FR.roman8 or fr_FR.iso88591=> no change!
I set up the font server on my HP server (/sbin/init.d/xfs start with RUN_X_FONT_SERVER in config file set to 1 of course) => no change!

Try to launch xterm with a french font.
(/usr/contrib/bin/X11/xterm -sb -ls -display %IP#% -name %T% -fn "-dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-m-iso8859-15" &)

locale : fr_FR.iso88591 or fr_FR.iso885915@euro
use ksh shell

You can modify the /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm to set the font by adding XTerm*font: -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-m-iso8859-15
