I intended to switch to mrxvt as it has all the features I want from my terminal, 256 colors and transparency.
Anyway, I installed it and slightly modified the default configuration file to my needs.
Everything seemed to work pretty well except my umlauts aren't working on mrxvt.
It shouldn't be locale issue as urxvt and xterm work just fine.
When I try to input ä or ö in terminal it moves the cursor but doesn't appear to print anything. If I then insert other ä it prints a squere and space. It prints the umlauts in irssi in the same way.
I don't plan to switch to UTF-8 as not all of my OS's support it fully so I will stick to iso-8859-1 until they do.
Any suggestions how to get the umlauts working correctly?
The best I got was with font size 12. When I entered first umlaut it moved the cursor but didn't instert a visible character. When I inserted another umlaut it printed both of them. Quite irritating behavior and the font size was too big for my terminal. With smaller font it gives me boxes instead of umlauted a
