Description Sebastian Pipping 2009-11-08 16:43:58 CET
i have a german keyboard and set up xorg accordingly (details further down).
when i enter diacritics ä/ae, ö/oe, ü/ue or ß/ss terminal prints "?" (a question mark) instead.  in contrast both gnome-terminal and yakuake/konsole print diacritics as expected.

details about my setup:
- Xfce keyboard settings: Use system defauls
- Linux kernel: 2.6.31
- xorg version: 1.6.5

# setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+de(nodeadkeys)+inet(evdev)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"	};
};

please let me know what i can do to help you track that down.

Does changing the input methode of vte help? (Right-click terminal, should be there in the menu)?

I can't reproduce this issue.
Even though I'm using en_GB as locale, German umlauts do work here. On another machine I'm using de_DE as locale and it works as well.

What's your locale? Are yu sure you are using utf-8?

And note that my xkb_geometry is pc105 not pc104 as yours.

By now I have moved on to xorg 1.7.3.  With my current setup diacritics are working.  Let's close it as "invalid" then, okay?
