Linux Terminal (transparent AND UTF-8)

Postby daddy2k on Mon Jul 10, 2006 11:20 pm

Hello guys!
I hope someone can help me. I'm looking for a terminal which supports UTF-8 and (pseudo-)transparency.
I've found mlterm but it doesn't find a font so it looks really bad in the terminal.
aterm, eterm etc. doesn't support UTF-8
xterm doesn't support transparency
rxvt-unicode, maybe? But how do I get it transparent? (I'm using Ubuntu Dapper Drake)

gnome-terminal should be configured for UTF-8 in Ubuntu, there's a patch available for it, and with Ubuntu being all about Unicode, i'm sure it supports it.

what you will need to do is change it's terminal font to a UTF-8 compatible font, which might be a little bit more of a challenge.

nono I know that Ubuntu has gnome-terminal and xterm..
But i don't really want to use gnome-terminal because it uses very much memory and cpu. But i want to use transparency, so i can't use xterm.
So what can i use?
