Yeah, the subject is too short. I posted the following on the Ubuntu forums with no reply so I thought I'd try our group.
Having just installed Mythbuntu 8.04.1 onto a recently procured computer, I'm doing tasks via ssh. I have several Debian Sid boxes and I've not run into this issue until I began using the Mythbuntu box. What I see are VGA style graphics characters replaced by accented alphabet letters. Here is a snapshot of Midnight Commander: http://n0nb.us/pix/snap4.jpg Ordinarily it appears as this on the rest of my machines: http://n0nb.us/pix/snap5.jpg While I'm inclined to think it's a terminal issue, I suppose it could be something else such as locale? Also, it's not just Midnight Commander as I saw the same thing with Aptitude. For the record I get the same strange characters when logging into the Mythbuntu box remotely from a Linux console on my Debian desktop machine. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
