Okay, I've been munging my system all day, and now have Nethack's OPTIONS=IBMgraphics font working in color in tty. Not quite sure how I got there, I was working on something else. The big question is, what exactly is the font:
/usr/share/consolefonts/default8x16.gz ?? cp437 or cp865?? Something else? Not iso-8859-1, is it? Evidently it has the IBM-specific graphics characters and at least most of the umlaut- and accented characters. Mutt and Lynx both look good under it. When I try setting the font to iso1.f16.gz, for instance, *even* *if* mutt knows about the char font difference, the message thread arrows break, showing accented "A"'s. If I set it to default8x16.gz, man replaces hyphens with upside down bangs. Is there a middle ground? What is a good source on locale? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] || http://www.concentric.net/~bedlam Though nothing is wasted, everything is spent. -- Annie Dillard But to live outside the law you must be honest.... -- Bob Dylan
