Hello people,
I have made some progress with displaying non-english characters in uxterm. I've tried to run uxterm: uxterm -fn '-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1' and it worked !
Furthermore, I found (u)xterm's definitions (aliases) of tiny, small, medium, .... font sizes (look for 'resizing-fu') here: ~/.zshrc, /etc/skel/.zshrc and I've replaced '-iso8859-15' with '-iso10646-1'. But what a surprise ! It did nothing, even after PC reboot :-(
Is there a font-search utility so that I can dynamically see list of existing fonts when changing/clearing attributes ? Because it seems to me that there are no corresponding fonts for iso10646-1 and so the nearest alternative is taken, which is iso8859-15, with one exception (Huge).
Best regards, M. Rehak

Can you please write some example text in iso10646 (the non-ASCII characters are important ;-)) and take a screenshot of the text in a working setup and send it to me? Otherwise checking out locales I'm not used to is pretty hard for me, sorry.

Check out for example xfontsel and tkfont.
