Hello, I decided to switch from xfce4-terminal to mrxvt but I can't get it to display properly ncurses-based applications, such as mutt or aptitude. The problems are:
1. Line-drawing characters, such as the ones mutt uses in threads, or aptitude to draw boxes, are displayed as boxes and other ugly-looking glyphs. 2. The cursor disappears when mutt or aptitude are running. Googling on 'mrxvt ncurses' didn't hit anything relevant. I read through all the documentation and noticed a reference in the changelog to ACS_ASCII capability, but the man page lists mrxvt.acsChars as a configuration option and doesn't include its valid values. I didn't find anything vaguely relevant to the cursor problem. Somehow I suspect that this is related to TERM, but I couldn't find anything related to this in the documentation either. Here's my ~/.mrxvtrc: mrxvt.xft: true mrxvt.xftAntialias: true mrxvt.xftNomFont: true mrxvt.xftFont: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono mrxvt.xftSize: 9 mrxvt.scrollBar: false I use exactly the same font/size with xfce4-terminal without any problems whatsoever. From what I could initially see, mrxvt seems to be a much more interesting terminal emulator than xfce4-terminal, and I wish I can switch to using it, but these problems make it unusable. Currently installed mrxvt: ii mrxvt 0.4.2-1 lightweight multi-tabbed X terminal emulator Could anybody point me to some reference where I could find answers or hints on these problems ?
