[comp.windows.x] Xterm and ECMA

Does anybody know of some hack to let xterm be transparent to 8 bit
characters?  I am working on a SUN with X11.R3 and would like to set up the
keyboard so I could use some of the Icelandic characters in the ECMA fonts
that came with the X distribution.  I thought it would be sufficient to
issue a 'stty pass8' once in the xterm window, but apparently xterm strips
off the 8 bit before it ouputs anything.  I know of someone who succeded to
fix xterm, but he didn't leave any documentation on how he did it, and I
don't like to mess up with xterm's source without knowing what I am doing.
