mterm
to invoke the mlterm
terminal
emulator with suitable parameters to set up bidi mode and a
suitable font.
uterm
to
invoke a UTF-8 enabled terminal with automatic selection of a
suitable font for best coverage of Unicode characters.
uterm
script comes with the mined
package; it is included in the mined runtime support library
and may be installed in the path with the mined application.
uterm
script assumes that a UTF-8 enabled
version of xterm or rxvt-unicode is already installed on your
system, as well as fonts suitable for your needs.
If this is not the case on your system, follow the advice below.
On Windows / cygwin:
Use the command
wined
to start mined in a
mintty terminal configured to use UTF-8 and Windows
look-and-feel.
(When running an X server, uterm
works too, as described above.)
The cygwin 1.7 console also runs UTF-8 by default.
On Windows / Explorer:
With the mined stand-alone Windows package installed,
right-click on a text file to open its context menu, and
select “MinEd”.
On Mac OS X:
Preferably, use xterm or iTerm 2
as the native Mac terminal application does not support the mouse.
configure --enable-wide-chars
or use the script
configure-xterm
from the mined runtime support
library. Then invoke make
. You may want to compact
the resulting executable with strip xterm

install it into your path, e.g. in $HOME/bin

and you find it in the mined runtime

and invoke the script.
$HOME/xfonts
), go into that directory, invoke the
mkfontdir
command. Then make sure that the fonts are
loaded into your X server, using the command
xset +fp $HOME/xfonts
; a suitable place to include this
automatically would be your $HOME/.xinitrc
X
initialisation file if you have one.

xterm -u8

bdf18to20
script as mentioned above and configure xterm
to use 10x20 – it will then automatically select one of the 20x20
fonts for double-width characters; if you have a preference among
them, use the -fw command line option or the wideFont X resource (in
your $HOME/.Xdefaults
file).
See the pattern file Xdefaults.mined
in the mined runtime
support library for suggestions of suitable entries.
(Double-width font matching works much better with rxvt which even seems
to scale double-width fonts in an acceptable way if needed.)
