I just installed Xfce4 and start using its default terminal. Terminal's default character encoding is set to UTF-8. I'm bulgarian so sometimes I work with cyrillic text. Cyrillic characters are rendered, but it's like xfce-terminal is confused by them.



The first line shows these bulgarian letters "фйфоъсжкфт". Of course this is only example, I don't have script with that name. Letters overlap. This is incorrect!
The second line shows what happens when I hit Enter .
The third line shows what happens when I keep pressing Backspace key. Part of the prompt is erased.
In the last line I pressed "up" once to envoke shell history. Question marks suddenly appeared.

Ok, I changed my locale from "C" to "bg_BG.UTF8" and most of the problems were solved (see this article locale). Letters, however, still overlap!

I've just checked at the Xfce forum, and no-one has reported this problem, although there some people having other problems with Cyrillic fonts. It might just be that the default font doesn't display properly: try configuring the terminal program to use a different one.

I solved the problem by using different font.
