Are you talking about the backspace issue? There are some old patches from ubuntu that show how to fix it (though they they don't seem to use them themselves anymore): https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/vte/+bug/29787/comments/32 https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/vte/+bug/29787/com... rxvt and friends gave me problems using truetype fonts. They have their own code for calculating widths which gives the wrong answer even when it's monospaced. I wish there were more terminals. It may seem like there's a lot but they are derived from a fairly small number of roots and they inherit all of the bizarre behaviour.
