Description-en: multi-lingual terminal emulator with Unicode support for X11
rxvt-unicode is a modern, Unicode-aware color xterm replacement that uses
significantly less memory than a conventional xterm and many other Unicode
supporting terminal emulators.
.
It supports using multiple fonts at the same time, including Xft fonts, and
client-server technology to reduce memory consumption when using multiple
windows.
.
This package is configured with 256-color support, and TERM set to
"rxvt-unicode-256color". Any other systems you log into must have this
terminfo entry installed!
