[gentoo-user] TMux urxvt and Unicode

[gentoo-user] TMux urxvt and Unicode

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

I am using urxvt in conjunction with the terminus font without
problems.
When I call 

    pstree -G  -p

everything is fine.

Now I start tmux inside urxvt and do the same

    pstree -G  -p

and now all horizontal and vertical lines are no existing any more.
Crosspoints are drawn as '+'.

Changing to Ascii drawn lines is currently not an option.

As I understand tmux is nothing, which needs any encoding science,
since tmux is not an terminal emulator...or am I wrong here?

How can I make pstree make work in tmux with the above mentioned
options?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards and have a nice weekend!

what's the value of the TERM variable in urxvt and tmux?

Open a screen sesson in tmux :)

No, I don't know a real solution. Simply setting the TERM variable
back to xterm does not help.

well, AFAIK you should set TERM before starting tmux.

Have you tried that?

It's already set to 'xterm' in my Konsole. TERM=xterm tmux does not change
this of course, it's set to 'screen' inside. TERM=xterm pstree -G -p also
does not help.

BTW, inside screen, I have problems with mc, setting LC_ALL=C
helps against the garbage. But this has no effect for this tmux problem.

Adding the following line to ~/.tmux.conf should do it:

    setw -g utf8 on

Hi Scott,

utf8 is already set and setting it again in tmux.conf
does not change the problem in a not-problem ;) (tried nevertheless).
Beside pstrees lines everything else like german umlauts ø,ǫ end
other composed characters do work.

Best regards and have a nice weekend!

in both cases:

    xterm-256color

which works perfectly when using urxvt alone.
