Description gnome 2002-10-04 19:53:47 UTC 
Reproduce:

LANG=de_DE@euro gnome-terminal --disable-factory

the terminal does not show the characters that are differ between
iso-8859-1 and iso-8859-15, even if a iso-8859-15, or a iso-10646-1
font is selected.

This worked fine with gnome-terminal from gnome 1.4.
Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2002-10-04 20:26:42 UTC 
Should be reassigned to libzvt or vte according to which you are using.

ldd prefix/gnome-terminal | grep -E '(zvt|vte|Xft)'

note that libzvt i18n is completely nonfunctional unless you are using 
the special i18n branch.
Comment 2 gnome 2002-10-14 19:39:14 UTC 
I moved it to libzvt even I suspect libzvt is unmaintained at the moment
Comment 3 gnome 2002-10-27 17:33:16 UTC 
"note that libzvt i18n is completely nonfunctional unless you are using 
the special i18n branch."

The i18n-branch is fine, but I suppose this problem can be solved by a
simple btowc() call at the right place, making gnome-terminal/libzvt
usefull to a lot of europeans. (the btowc-hack should work for all
users of iso-8859-X fonts, probably for all users of 8-bit charsets.)

Closing libzvt bugs since it's not actively maintained or used by anything in
the desktop these days. If you still have similar problems as the one filed here
with recent versions of gnome-terminal, please report it against vte, the new
terminal widget.
