In my Debian installation I can type extended ASCII characters such as åäö by default using the terminus font, however in Gentoo I can't get it to work so far. Nothing happens when I hit those keys, like in this thread: Missing glyphs in Terminus font, how to setup a fallback font ?

But in this case I know terminus supports those characters in at least some of its versions, since it's works in Debian. So what I want is to find out how to see and choose which of the many different terminus font files is being used.

I set the font in the same way on both Debian and Gentoo, using URxvt*font: xft:terminus:size=xx in .Xdefaults. Both systems use en_US.UTF-8 as default locale.

Only thing I could think of is if you omitted the iso14755 USE flag, but I'm not entirely sure if that'll fix it.

I thought of that too, but compiling with it didn't help. – gaidal Jun 29 '11 at 14:20
I suppose the best course of action is to dig into how Debian sets up user input with the keyboard and what their build of urxvt looks like. – Corey Richardson Jun 30 '11 at 18:04
