Hello, 
I'm trying out urxvt on OpenBSD, but cannot input or display cyrillic 
(in fact I have the same problem with chinese). For displaying it 
must have to do with not having the proper font setting, of which I paste 
the relevant .Xdefaults part:
URxvt.font: 
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1,\
                 -wenquanyi-wenquanyi bitmap 
song-medium-r-normal-*-12-120-75-75-p-*-iso10646-1

But the input is strange. I am using the xorg.conf kbd setting:
Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier  "Keyboard0"
         Driver      "kbd"
         Option      "Protocol"    "standard"
         Option      "XkbRules"    "xorg"
         Option          "XkbLayout" "us,it,ru(winkeys),de"
         Option          "XkbOptions" "grp:lwin_toggle"
         Option          "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

and it works fine with "it" or "de" but if I switch to russian the cursor 
does not move and nothing comes out. If it is of any help, I have the same 
problem with mlterm (this is why I'm trying out urxvt, but in mlterm, if 
I use scim russian input it works), whereas in uxterm 
both accented chars and russian kbd input work fine.

Also scim does not show up in urxvt.

thank for any hint
