fte for DEBIAN
----------------------
* if you are using some non-iso encondings like KOI8-R please
check your Compose file if you are worried about warning message.
This problem is known - if you know how to fix this, please
let me know.
* usage of vfte on linux console together with iso8859-X fonts might
be better if ISOCONSOLE shell variable is set.
(e.g. for bash export ISOCONSOLE=y ; fte)
* before reporting bugs about problems with i18n support for xfte
try to make sure, your locales are correct and you use them
properly (e.g. LANG=en_US xfte)
* try to use sfte instead of vfte
* vfte requires access to dev/vcsa*
as the of the security problem with write access to this device
this program has to be suid - however only for the opening
this device - than it gives up its root privileges and goes
back to the normal user uid,gid
* And since vfte uses dev/vcsa directly, you can't use it
on anything else but a virtual console.
* vfte is not compiled with GPM support, because it's buggy and
I didn't want vfte to be the reason to buy a mouse.
* fte has still bugs, so use with caution (especially vfte, cuz
it locks the keyboard if it crashes...), and report any
reproducable bugs found.
* To make your own configurations, make sure you have the package
fte-docs installed on your system and unpack the file
config-example.tar.gz to $HOME/.fte/.
Run the program: cfte $HOME/.fte/main.fte
Report any useful improvements and new Color modes.
* read the BUGS file.
