Aterm does not interpret some keys correctly, like $ or |. | causes the same effect as PgUp, and I don't know any button that would cause what $ causes. Neither works like they should.

This happens in default livecd (fi-latin1), and also my hd-install where I have fi-latin9 loaded (which makes those keys work in console). I can only guess it is limited like Dillo and understands iso-8859-1 only. Should I just get Xterm?

While the core bits of DSL are capable of handling files in Unicode encodings, most of the included apps cannot. This is either because they are tiny apps by nature and don't support Unicode (aterm, beaver)...

Well, I'd assume konsole would be a valid choice, if you don't want to find other things out of the mydsl repository.

Konsole is gtk2, which would really slow my system down. I'm getting Xterm...
I thought it was about not having locale files or 8859-15 fonts. I got those before posting.

So Xterm it is.....

Now it's getting weird... I got Xterm, but it acts as alt-gr doesn't exist (ie | causes a < and $ causes a 4).. Even when started with the utf-8 option...

Then I got Aterm 1.0.0 and compiled it myself. It does the same as DSL version of Aterm 0.4 or something...

edit: And Xterm has never ever failed me before...

Maybe mrxvt will work (uci section). If not, I'd look into a terminal emulator that focuses on unicode support, such as urxvt:
