hmm, Linux's UTF-8 support isn't that extensive, but I'd thought Umlauts would work. But if your kernel's "3.3", supposedly it supports proper SI/SO controls. ncurses uses the locale-encoding value based on the locale settings. In spite of the explicit LC_CTYPE, that's determined in this case by the LANG setting, i.e., UTF-8. If your locale doesn't look like UTF-8 encoding to ncurses (and if the console isn't in UTF-8 mode), then it's supposed to handle line-drawing. A drawback to doing that would be in editing text, etc. -- Thomas E. Dickey <dic...@invisible-island.net> http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
