Hello!
I've just started trying gnome-terminal (instead of xterm) because of
its "tabbing" facility. However, I note that with it backslashes
appear something like a W with a horizontal line through it. Any
known way to get a backslash to appear as a backslash?
To see what I mean, use gnome-terminal with
echo '\'
Hi,
I'm no expert with these issues, but you can try comparing your settings
to mine. I'm presuming it's a character encoding or font problem.
What does the Terminal->Set Character Encoding menu offer? Mine just
has 'Current Locale UTF-8'.
What font is Terminal using? Edit->Profiles->Default/Edit->General,
mine has 'Use the system terminal font' checked, and 'monospace|12' in
the greyed out font box.
What does the ascii code for the backslash you're typing come out to?
[neek@localhost ~]$ echo '\' | od -x
0000000 0a5c
0000002
'man ascii' shows you the normal backslash should be 5c.
Is your locale set up strangely?
[neek@localhost ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
