Hello!
I've just started trying gnome-terminal (instead of xterm) because of its "tabbing" facility. However, I note that with it backslashes appear something like a W with a horizontal line through it. Any known way to get a backslash to appear as a backslash?
To see what I mean, use gnome-terminal with
echo ''
in bash, ksh, etc.
You might need to post more info. Here on a box-stock fully updated CentOS 5 (haven't booted the new kernel yet)
$ uname -a Linux centos501.homegroannetworking 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 #1 SMP Wed Mar 5 11:36:49 EST 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
$ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5 (Final)
$ lsb_release -a LSB Version: :core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch Distributor ID: CentOS Description: CentOS release 5 (Final) Release: 5 Codename: Final
Using GNOME Terminal 2.16.0, all works as expected.
$ echo \ \ $
