Although I don't use gnome-terminal, the problem is all in the font. At work, 90% of our installs of Debian/PowerPC are on serial console so having it look/feel like the Linux console is important to me. I just use the "linux8x16" font with contains the IBM OEM lineart characters instead of the standard ISO8859 character set. It's kind of cool when all the ncurses/slang-newt apps look identical in color/line drawing when run on VGA or serial console...sercon is just a lot slower. :) -- Matt Porter [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is Linux Country.
