1 Hello,
2
3 Sometimes I use an xterm in cygwin to login to gentoo boxes and I have problems with font display. For instance I see in the cygwin xterm:
4
5 src/ports/Mod4_initdt.f90:1: warning: unused variable â
6 src/ports/Mod4_initdt.f90:1: warning: unused variable â
7
8 when I should see
9
10 src/ports/Mod4_initdt.f90:1: warning: unused variable 'charvec_ptr'
11 src/ports/Mod4_initdt.f90:1: warning: unused variable 'ivec_ptr'
12
13 The latter I obtain by running an xterm remotely on the gentoo box. However it is not always convenient to fire up xterms on the remote machine.

15 Would anyone know what is missing either on the cygwin or gentoo ends to get this working? Almost everything displays correctly most of the time. Sometimes I have a few characters not correctly displayed on man pages. This problem started after I upgraded to profile 2006.1 with unicode utf-8 character encoding. The gentoo emerge --info is
